Overview
Chemical processes involve reactions, heat transfer, separations and biological phenomena to produce useful and valuable products. Accordingly, they study changes in the composition, energy content and/or state of aggregation of materials taking into consideration the nature of matter and its properties (chemistry), the forces that act on matter (physics), similar aspects of biological materials (biology), and the relationships between them (mathematics).
Chemical Engineering at National University of Singapore differs from chemistry and applied chemistry programmes, with its emphasis on industrial applications of chemical reactions, separations and techniques for designing and operating economical, safe and environmentally benign processes.

General requirements
- Students who wish to enrol in the Chemical Engineering programme must have obtained ‘H2’ (or equivalent such as A-level) passes in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, in addition to the minimum requirements for application to the University. Students without H1 or H2/ ‘A’ level Physics need to have ‘O’ level or equivalent in Physics, and will be required to take specified Physics bridging modules. If admitted, students are enrolled directly into the Chemical Engineering programme.
- NUS High School Diploma: A good major CAP in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics
