Plan Outline

This 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.

A Chemistry major within the Bachelor of Science (Advanced) program is comprised of 126 UOC of courses as listed below. Students must ensure that all other program requirements are met as per the 3936 Bachelor of Science (Advanced) / Bachelor of Social Science program rules such that a total of 240 UOC is completed.

The School of Chemistry recommends the following discipline areas for choosing electives: Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Computing, Food Science, Geoscience, Materials Science, Mathematics, and Physics. 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. These possibilities should be discussed with an advisor from the School of Chemistry.
