Key Summary
About: The Doctorate in Chemical Engineering (D.Sc) at Atlantic International University combines self-instruction with guided supervision and collaborative, student-designed curriculum to support independent research in transport phenomena, reaction engineering, thermodynamics, and applied mathematics. The distance-learning, experiential programme has no classrooms and no required attendance, and it lets students include computer science topics to build computational and experimental skills for original research and process development.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles in industry and academia. Potential paths include process engineer, research scientist, R&D manager, development engineer, technical consultant, academic researcher, and technology leadership roles in chemical, energy, pharmaceutical and materials sectors.
Doctorate of Chemical Engineering (D.Sc) at AIU
The Doctor of Chemical Engineering (D.Sc) helps students become independent researchers with the ability to apply chemical engineering principles as well as advanced analytical and experimental techniques to conduct original research. Chemical engineering principles include transport phenomena, chemical reaction engineering, thermodynamics, and applied mathematics, and transport phenomena. The Chemical Engineering program is designed to advance the professional development of experienced chemical engineering graduates and professionals in the chemical engineering arena by extending their knowledge and equipping them with broad research and process chemical engineering skills, enabling them to make a key leadership contribution to their chosen fields.
AIU’s Doctorate degree in Chemical Engineering goes one step further by allowing students to study and research multiple key areas of computer science to develop a unique foundation of practical knowledge and computer science theory.

Your AIU Distance Learning Doctorate program in Chemical Engineering will be a custom-made program, designed just for you by you and your advisor. This flexibility to meet your needs is seldom found in other distance learning programs. Our program does not require every student to study the same subjects and use the same books and other learning materials as every other student. Instead, our online Doctoral programs are designed just for you. They are individually designed to meet your needs and help you to reach your professional and personal goals.
Important: Below is an example of the topics or areas you may develop and work on during your studies. By no means is it a complete or required list as AIU programs do not follow a standardized curriculum. It is meant solely as a reference point and example.
