-
Versatile curriculum with environmental and life science components which give CBE graduates that extra edge
-
A Pharma and Biopharmaceutical specialisation that provides a career pathway to the rapidly developing biomedical and biopharmaceutical sectors
-
Internationally recognised and first diploma course to be fully accredited by the Institute of Chemical Engineers, UK
About the Diploma
Thinking of turning raw materials (e.g. petrochemicals) into valuable products (e.g. polymers)? You’ll have to design, construct and manage processes to make it happen. To master these skills, you’ll get a head-start with the Diploma in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering (CBE)!
Powerful Combination of Sciences and Engineering
CBE is the only course in Singapore that combines biological and chemical sciences with chemical technology. It encompasses chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, environmental science and life sciences, making it one of the most versatile engineering courses.
Local & Overseas Hands-on Practice
CBE has a strong focus on hands-on practice. In addition to a six-month local or overseas internship, you will undertake six weeks of practical training at the Chemical Process Technology Centre on Jurong Island. Opportunities to go on overseas programmes will also enhance your learning experience. CBE is internationally recognised and the first to be fully accredited by the Institute of Chemical Engineers, UK.
New Pharma and Biopharmaceutical Specialisation
This is the first and only specialisation in Singapore that exposes students to a training environment that closely resembles the drug manufacturing processes carried out in the industry, using the state-of-the-art Centre for Biomanufacturing Excellence. With the Pharma and Biopharmaceutical Specialisation, you will gain a unique gateway into the rapidly growing biomedical science industry.
With all these benefits, you are likely to secure employment even before you graduate!
Career Prospects
The strong foundation and versatility that you receive will enable you to enter a wide range of industries - from chemical, petrochemical, biochemical, biotechnology, biomedical and pharmaceutical to food & beverage, electronics and environmental technology.
You can be a technologist, project supervisor or assistant engineer in process, design, control, operations or maintenance units. You can also work as a laboratory technologist, R&D officer, pollution control or plant safety officer, or venture into technical marketing as a sales engineer. Enjoy an attractive pay package – a recent graduate employment survey showed that NP’s CBE graduates have one of the highest average starting salaries.
Further Studies
You can enrol in a wide range of degree programmes offered by National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University. In
addition to degree courses in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Material Sciences, Chemistry, Physics and Biological Science, you can also pursue degrees in other disciplines such as bioengineering, education, arts, architecture, dentistry, business, psychology and social science.
You can also expect up to two years of exemption for related degree courses at overseas universities such as the University of Manchester, Imperial College, Newcastle University, University of Birmingham, Loughborough University, University of Melbourne, University of Queensland, University of Adelaide, University of Western Australia and University of New South Wales.
