Ask Majari!

You have any problem with your school stuff? Any question about current chemical engineering issues? Accompanied with a glass of warm coffee, Ask Majari will try their best to help you.

I’m still a year 10 student in Jakarta, and I’ve been quite interested in chemical engineering for a long time. My class uses an international curriculum, and we won’t take the UAN exam in the 12th grade, thus forcing us to go to universities in overseas. My question is, can you help me list some of the world’s best chemical engineering universities? I’ve NUS and NTU in mind, but besides that, I don’t really know others.

Thank you for your help, Majari!

Regards,
Anthony Thio

We are very impressed that you’ve been doing such a great preparation before entering universities overseas. We hope you can do well and be admitted in the university of your choice. By the way, about your question, we’ve done some ‘research’ and here is Majari World’s Best Chemical Engineering Universities. We have listed some great schools from all over the world, categorized by continents, considering that the location of the university is also one major factor for you.

Memang secara umum, MIT adalah yang terbaik. Namun, beberapa universitas memiliki keunggulan tersendiri di bidang tertentu yang justru melebihi MIT. Contohnya, Carnegie Mellon University memiliki keunggulan di bidang “Process Systems Engineering”.

Jadi kalau rekan-rekan sudah memiliki gambaran suatu bidang yang diminati, sebaiknya pelajari terlebih dahulu apakah universitas yang dituju itu memang unggul di bidang tersebut. Salam.

Wah mana nie universitas dari indonesia qo engga’ ada yang masuk sih padahal tetangga qta aja dah bisa masuk sepuluh besar, klo tekim di indonesia udah standart internasional khan mahasiswa indonesia ga’ perlu blajar kluar negri, khan jadi hemat biaya!?

Untuk undergraduate,
sih bagusnya :

USA
Cooper Union
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
Rowan University
Bucknell University

Memang pasti jarang yang denger untuk di Indo, tp yang mau ngambil S1 ChemE, program mereka rated the best untuk di US.
Very highly recommended.

Jul 12th, 2009

GO BEARSSSS

for cheme, MIT still is no 1
and BERKELEY is no 2
wisconsin is still pretty good at number 3 i think
and U of minnesota – twin cities completes the top 4

Untuk jurusan Chemical Engineering di Australia, ambil di UNSW (University of New South Wales) di Sydney. UNSW termasuk top 3 universitas khusus Engineering di Australia.

Monash bagus di Chemical Engineering? No wayyy, man! Monash cuma bagus di Commerce. Looking to study Engineering in Australia? Go for UNSW. Aku alumni Chemical Engineering di UNSW, jadi aku sudah ngalamin sendiri. Asal siap mental ama otak aja, Rada susah loh pelajarannya.

Dan kebetulan kampus itu terletak di daerah yang banyak orang Indonesia tinggal. Jadi untuk orang yang pertama kali datang ke Australia akan elbih mudah. Banyak restoran dan toko yang dijalankan orang Indonesia.

Kalo yg di Amerika aku setuju, MIT is the best and number one!

the information provided for u is just the best engineering schools not the best chemical engineering one the best one is University Of Minnesota Twin Cities yes i know you are shocked but if you search the web you will get MIT first uc Berkeley ….. & what we all know
but in this field & fields of oil u should consider University Of Minnesota Twin Cities & university of Austin TX first besides the are very good university in Germany & France specializing in the subject don’t forget this field has an even greater shot in middle east Canada & Europe

I graduated from RMIT University Melbroune a few years ago, and I have found my studies to be quite rewarding and have found my way to a good job. But for others who are looking for a ‘good’ university, remember that after you graduate, where you’ve studied will only play a small role. Your university’s status is not a guarantee of a great job. It will all comes down to you, and how you put yourself in the outside world after all the studies have finished.

Not being able to get into what they think are the best, is not the end of everything. Every university has their pros and cons. Just do your best!
