Future students
Chemistry is the science of matter and energy – the study of the makeup and structure of substances, how their atoms and molecules interact, and how that behaviour can be harnessed to transform materials, medicine, and technology.
Chemistry has the power to tackle some of society's biggest, most interesting problems, such the world's most devastating diseases, clean energy, or securing food supplies for growing global populations. It can explain how a cancer drug works, or why algal blooms sometimes occur in lakes.
Chemistry is the science of 'making and measuring stuff'! If this sounds like you, join us at the School of Chemistry at Monash University.
