Bachelor of Science (Chemistry)

Chemistry 1A and 1B (CHEM101 and 102) or Chemistry 1D and 1E (CHEM104 and 105) for students with inadequate preparation in Chemistry, provide a basic introduction to Chemistry for 200- and higher level Chemistry subjects. They are also suitable for students who do not wish to specialise in Chemistry.

A 'major study' in Chemistry (set out below) consists of the four 200-level subjects CHEM211, CHEM212, CHEM213 and CHEM214, together with an approved combination of 300-level subjects offered by the Department of Chemistry with a value of at least 24 credit points. Completion of this major study qualifies graduates for admission as a member of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. It is recommended that students wishing to become members of the Institute also complete a Physics or Maths 100-level subject.

A maximum of one Pass Restricted (PR) grade is permitted in the above 200-level subjects (CHEM211, CHEM212, CHEM213, CHEM214). Grades of Pass or above are required in the 300-level Chemistry subjects contributing to the 'major'.

400-level Honours Program


CHEM401 Chemistry Honours
CHEM402 Chemistry Honours Part 1 for Part Time Students
CHEM403 Chemistry Honours Part 2 for Part Time Students
CHEM405 Chemistry Joint Honours

Entry to the Chemistry IV single Honours course normally requires the completion of at least four 300-level Chemistry subjects (32 credit points at 300-level). For entry to a joint Honours program at least three 300-level Chemistry subjects (24 credit points) should have been completed.
