The Bachelor of Science is a versatile degree that provides students with the optimal balance between a defined sequence of study and flexible course options. This innovative program has been redesigned to develop graduates with the key practical skills and interdisciplinary knowledge required to address today's global challenges. Students will study an extensive range of courses underpinned by cutting edge research and develop high levels of personal initiative, independent thinking and communication skills. Graduates will be qualified for employment opportunities in a wide array of science and non-science industries. Chemical Sciences (Dual Major) Chemistry is a discipline that interfaces with many other disciplines; particularly biology, materials science, and nanotechnology. This creates some of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding areas of research both within UQ and worldwide. You can choose to specialize in one of two streams, either in Chemical Biology or Materials & Nanoscience. The Chemical Biology stream will provide you with the knowledge and skills to explore molecular processes that control the structure and function of complex biological systems and to synthesize new molecules, these skills are essential in modern pharmaceutical and medical research. The Materials & Nanoscience stream will expose you to the synthetic strategies and the processes of self-assembly for the controlled arrangement of atoms and molecules. You will develop a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between molecular structure and the macroscopic properties of systems enabling the development of advanced materials and devices that are used in medicine, energy production, electronics, and biotechnology and consumer products.
