Hear from our students
"I decided on Chemical Engineering because I want to contribute to renewable methods of mineral extraction and energy use in the mining sector. I chose a double degree with Finance to increase my employment options and competitive advantage. As part of my New Colombo Plan scholarship, I travelled to Malaysia and worked with industry representatives from Indo-Pacific countries to provide solutions to help sustainability and lifestyle for people in the Sarawak region. I also led a student team that designed a hydropowered, GPS-signalled pontoon for an international Conference in Miri."
