COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Science is a three-year degree, in which you will complete 24 subjects, of which some will contribute to your major (your chosen specialisation). Incredibly flexible, you can choose to begin your specialisation immediately, if you have decided on your major, or in second year after completing foundational subjects in first year. We can help you build the degree that’s right for you by providing career advice and guiding you through your study options to ensure you reach your career goals.
Your major in chemistry will give you the knowledge and skills to apply chemistry across the full range of technically based disciplines including physics, molecular biology, life sciences, geochemistry, environmental science, engineering, and health sciences. These skills include both analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as expertise in using sophisticated laboratory instrumentation, all of which are highly valued by employers in all sectors of the economy.
To support your learning, you will participate in practical classes in our new purpose-built Sciences Teaching Facility in the Science Precinct of the Wollongong campus. In addition, you will complete a research project tackling real problems, such as analysis of pollutants in water leachate and the chemical composition of vapes, all while developing and showcasing your employability skills. On completion, high-performing students considering further study or a career in research should consider the Bachelor of Science (Honours). This one-year degree offers students a pathway to expand their knowledge in chemistry and achieve their research aspirations.
Accreditation & professional recognition: Completion of the Bachelor of Science with a major in Chemistry, qualifies graduates for membership of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.
