General information

Coordinator: Dr Robert Lyall

The discipline

Applied chemistry explores the nature of molecular matter and change by applying the principles of chemistry to practical situations in industry, biotechnology and the environment. It has a strong emphasis on instrumental and analytical techniques.

Units offered

Level one

• CHM1616 Chemistry for biology
• CHM1639 Chemistry

Level two

• BTH2746 Biochemistry
• CHM2727 Molecular analysis and applications
• CHM2736 Instrumental techniques
• ENV2747 Soil science

Level three

• BTH3757 Molecular biology and biotechnology
• CHM3727 Modern chemical applications
• CHM3736 Bioactive chemistry
• ENV3726 Atmospheric processes

Sequence requirements

Applied chemistry

Minor sequence in applied chemistry (24 points):

• CHM1616 and CHM1639, and
• CHM2727 and CHM2736.

Major sequence in applied chemistry (48 points):

• a minor sequence in applied chemistry, and
• at least one of ENV2747 and BTH2746, and
• CHM3727, CHM3736 and any remaining points from ENV3726 and BTH3757.

Details of the BTH and ENV units, and some related sequences, are described in the `Applied biology' and `Environmental science and resource management' entries in this section of the handbook.

Recommendations

Students seeking accreditation by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute should contact the school for advice.
