Plan Summary

 
Faculty: Faculty of Science
 
  
   
 
Program: 3972 - Advanced Science
 
 
Award(s):
 
 
Bachelor of Science (Major)
 
  

Plan Outline

This plan is for a Major in Chemistry within the Advanced Science program.

The plan is designed for students who wish to specialise in the chemical sciences and undertake the maximum number of Chemistry courses. It is designed to provide education and training in all contemporary fields of Chemistry and should be selected by students who wish to devote the majority of their studies at Stage 3 to Chemistry.
Within this plan there are sufficient electives available to complete the equivalent of a minor in another discipline.

The School of Chemistry recommends the following discipline areas: Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Computing, Food Science and Nutrition, Geoscience, Materials Science, Mathematics, and Physics. Other areas are available both within and outside the Faculty of Science. These possibilities should be discussed with an advisor from the School.

Inclusion of advanced level studies, from more than one field of specialisation, result in a broadly based degree in the chemical sciences. For example, a combination of Chemistry and Biochemistry leads to further work in areas such as Toxicology and Neurochemistry. Combining Level III Chemistry with Mathematics or Computing provides a valuable basis for the many applications of computers in Chemistry. Chemistry with Physics or Materials Science allows entry into the rapidly developing field of advanced materials.
