Outline

The Chemistry Honours Major (BSc) (Honours) extends knowledge of chemistry, particularly in its application to cutting edge research and problems of industrial relevance. This is demonstrated through studies in advanced concepts, advanced instrumental techniques and applications of both in these areas, and the conduct of a supervised research project and preparation of an honours dissertation.

This major sits within the Bachelor of Science (Science) (Honours) degree. To apply for this major, you will apply for the Bachelor of Science (Science) (Honours).

Please refer to the handbook for additional course overview information.
