Bachelor of Science (Analytical Chemistry)

This degree provides students with the necessary background and skills to gain employment as analytical chemists. Statistics, Business Computing, Physics and Management subjects have been included as useful additional skills in the laboratory and in later career development such as laboratory and business management. The inclusion of optional Geosciences subjects provides a back ground for students interested in environmental or mining analyses. The approval of the Dean or Sub-Dean is required for entry to the degree.

The Coordinator is Associate Professor Margaret Sheil.
