Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering (Chemical and Materials Engineering)

The University of Auckland

Enhance your undergraduate qualification with specialised knowledge to enable progression into an engineering masters programme. This qualification gives students who have completed a three-year engineering degree the opportunity to build on their previous skills, and understand the principles, concepts and ideas that underpin a chosen specialisation. It is designed to provide a pathway to further study in a masters programme. Postgraduate students in Chemical and Materials Engineering gain a deeper understanding of how things work, with the potential to develop new technologies. Areas of interest include: Advanced and nanomaterials research, which involves in-depth studies into properties, performance, processing, microstructure, and industrial applications Chemical and process engineering, including aluminium smelting technology, heat exchange, iron and steel making, food processing, high-pressure sterilisation, and more Energy and the environment, including biodiesel, oil and gas processing, thermal management, air flow and heat transfer, and clean technologies Food and bioproduct processing, with a focus on value-added food products and cost-effective technologies Materials engineering, with studies in novel materials design, manufacturing and processing. Specialist areas are light metals, nanomaterials and biomaterials Separation and reaction engineering, specialising in green process engineering Surface and materials science, from the nano to large-scale
