BA/BS in B.E. Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineering at YTU is taught in a department that earlier spawned two sister departments, biotechnology and nuclear technology, both now run separately under another ministry. Its undergraduate teaching resumed in 2012, admitting students who had passed the matriculation examination. The same department hosts food engineering, which accepted a first cohort in 2019, plus a food technology diploma, master's degrees covering each of those two fields, and a doctoral route. Bachelor students begin with a common first year used across all engineering disciplines. It combines Myanmar and English language work with applied mathematics, physics and chemistry. Specialisation starts in the second year, assigned by student preference and by marks earned in that first year. The full programme runs six years.
