Chemical Engineering

I chose chemical engineering because I would love to be involved in the medicine or energy sectors. Chemical engineering develops a strong process-based mindset which I knew would help me see the key elements of large scale problems, wherever I ended up.

My interest in chemical engineering was sparked from my experiences in Fiji, after witnessing their living conditions. I wanted to study a course that would give me the knowledge and skills to develop technologies and practices that enrich the quality of life.

I picked UQ because of its strong emphasis on student support services, especially for first year students. There were a lot of support options available like mentoring, academic advice and employability help.

I chose to study chemical engineering because it's a very broad engineering discipline that will allow me to grow in different directions. I am also studying a Bachelor of Economics, majoring in Natural Resources and Environmental Economics, to further engage my interests in sustainability and the circular economy.

I knew from grade 10 that UQ was where I wanted to study and the community I wanted to be a part of, but it wasn’t until halfway through grade 12 that I realised engineering was where my passion was.
