Chemistry is the science that is concerned with the composition, structure and properties of substances, the changes that occur during reactions with other substances, and the energy that is exchanged during these reactions. This major provides a thorough grounding in fundamental and advanced chemistry with a strong emphasis on developing analytical and instrumentation skills. Students study diverse methods used to investigate the chemical nature of substances in a range of applications, from pure laboratory analysis to environmental and medical investigations and monitoring.
This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
All applicants are required to have passed ATAR Chemistry, with equivalents considered. Alternatively applicants can have passed SCC1123 Chemistry for the life sciences, with equivalents considered.
On Campus at Joondalup
Analytical Chemist, Forensic Chemist, Government Scientist, Industrial Chemist, Instrumentation Consultant, Medical Chemist
Chemistry graduates are employed across a wide range of organisations. These include education, defence, the public sector, healthcare, energy, materials, meteorology and mining.
