Chemistry is the study of the molecular nature of all matter and its interactions. By providing the ability to understand the relationship between the structure of molecules, and their properties, chemistry plays an essential and central position in science and technology. The Bachelor of Science majoring in Chemistry will give you the knowledge and skills to apply chemistry across the full range of technically-based disciplines including physics, molecular biology, life sciences, geochemistry, environmental science, engineering, and health sciences. These skills include both analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as expertise in using sophisticated laboratory instrumentation, which is highly valued by employers in all sections of the economy. What you will study You will study the fundamentals of chemistry with an emphasis on molecular structure and reactivity. In second year you will study four core subjects: Inorganic Chemistry Organic Chemistry Physical Chemistry Analytical Chemistry In third year you will explore subjects such as: Instrumental Analysis Environmental Chemistry Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology Bioinformatics Organic Synthesis and Reactivity Major Learning Outcomes Demonstrate extensive and coherent knowledge of the principles and concepts associated with chemistry. Demonstrate technical and cognitive skills associated with chemistry by locating, analysing and synthesising information to generate solutions to complex questions and problems. Exercise critical analysis of observations and data from primary and secondary sources. Communicate knowledge and ideas clearly and coherently to others through a variety of media.
