The
Department of Chemistry provides subjects in chemistry for students with a wide
variety of interests. As well as those students who major in chemistry, there
are many who need some chemistry as a prerequisite or recommended subject for
their later-year study.
Each student is required to achieve balanced progress across the fundamental
areas of chemistry.
Both observation and measurement are essential in chemistry. Therefore, all
chemistry subjects involve laboratory work and practice in solving problems in
addition to lectures, tutorials and opportunity for cultivation of the art of
self-expression.
Students may graduate with a BSc honours degree in chemistry after a fourth
year of study which combines units on advanced topics in chemistry together
with work on a research topic under supervision.
Four six-point subjects are offered in first year, two in each semester. A
sequence of two of these is required for most second-year chemistry subjects
and some mathematics subjects are also recommended. The codes are CHM1011 and
CHM1022 or CHM1031 and CHM1042.
The department offers subjects which allow a level of specialisation within
chemistry as summarised below.
A program which allows sub-specialisation in analytical chemistry, applied/industrial chemistry or environmental chemistry.
One or more subjects selected from:
Other subjects to make a total of 48 points as specified in the BSc course requirements.
CHM3031/CHM3042 (eight units). The key units for these specialisations should be chosen from the following:
Students taking CHM3031/CHM3042 require an additional 24 points as specified in the BSc course requirements. An example is:
A program which allows sub-specialisation in agricultural chemistry, biological chemistry, biomedical chemistry, forensic chemistry, molecular modelling or pharmaceutical chemistry.
Other subjects to make a total of 48 points as specified in the BSc course requirements.
CHM3031/CHM3042 (8 units). The key units for these specialisations should be chosen from the following:
Students taking CHM3031/CHM3042 require an additional 24 points as specified in the BSc course requirements.
A program which allows sub-specialisation in materials chemistry, polymer chemistry, solid state chemistry or synthetic chemistry.
Other subjects to make a total of 48 points as specified in the BSc course requirements.
CHM3031/CHM3042 (eight units). The key units for these specialisations should be chosen from the following:
Students taking CHM3031/CHM3042 require an additional 24 points as specified in the BSc course requirements. An example is:
A program which allows sub-specialisation in chemical physics, computational chemistry, energy chemistry, mechanistic chemistry or theoretical chemistry.
CHM2911/CHM2912 Molecular design and reactivity, CHM2921 Instrumental and forensic chemistry and other subjects to make a total of 48 points as specified in the BSc course requirements. Recommended subjects include:
Students may take CHM3031/CHM3042 (eight units). The key topics for these specialisations should be chosen from the following:
The chief examiners for chemistry subjects for 2000 are:
Inquiries
about subjects should be addressed in the first instance to the appropriate
subject coordinator.
More general information about courses involving chemistry subjects in relation
to other studies may be obtained from departmental course advisers:
CHM1011 and CHM1022 or CHM1031 and CHM1042 together are prerequisites for most second-year chemistry subjects and also are prerequisites or recommended subjects for some other faculty subjects.
Three chemistry subjects together make a major second-year study and progression to particular third-year subjects will require a pass at a satisfactory level in an approved second-year subject. The program is designed to introduce students to many concepts of modern chemistry in a variety of interest areas.
Third-year chemistry is offered as 12-point subjects. The following combinations of subjects are available and it is recommended that they be taken as pairs: CHM3031.12/CHM3042.12 or CHM3051.12/CHM3062.12. Students are required to discuss their selection of units with the coordinator. A six-point subject is also available in each semester.
Chemistry 4000 is usually offered to students gaining at least a credit average grade in their third-year chemistry subjects. It is made up of advanced coursework and an extended research project.
