Undergraduate

In Level-one chemistry we emphasise chemistry as a central science and is open to all students. Our focus is on fostering an understanding of atoms and molecules as the building blocks of matter and on the development of laboratory skills to explore this idea.

• Most students will undertake the main-stream chemistry units (CHM1011 & CHM1022).
• An advanced stream (CHM1051 & CHM1052) exists for students who have excelled at the secondary level.

Units

• CHM1011 Chemistry
• CHM1022 Chemistry
• CHM1051 Chemistry I Advanced  
• CHM1052 Chemistry II Advanced

Level-two chemistry offers units to students pursuing professional training in chemistry and to those requiring a strong chemistry background for other science, engineering or biomedical science disciplines. CHM2911 Synthetic chemistry I and CHM2922 Spectroscopy and analytical chemistry are recommended units for students intending to major in chemistry at the honours level.
