Career Prospects

Chemical and biomolecular engineers are in high demand in an emerging and knowledge based economy. The chemical and pharmaceutical sectors constitute a key part of Singapore’s constellation of industries. Other neighboring countries are also focusing on industries that produce high value added products. Chemical and biomolecular engineers obtain a diverse training and hence possess the flexibility and versatility to adapt to different industrial fields. Graduates can find challenging opportunities in traditional as well as emerging engineering fields such as petrochemicals, bio-pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, food/flavors/fragrances, nanotechnology, biotechnology and others. For the creative and adventurous, the opportunities are limitless.
