Chemistry subjects available only to Engineering students
The School of Chemistry offers a three or four year study in theoretical and practical Chemistry which is designed to teach:
There are two 100-level Chemistry streams, each consisting of 2 semester length subjects, Chemistry 610-141 + 610-142 and 610-161 + 610-162.
is designed to provide the essential chemistry required to major in Chemistry or the physical or biological sciences. A sound knowledge of Year 12 Chemistry will be assumed.
is a broader and more descriptive subject stream designed for students who do not have a solid background in the physical sciences and mathematics. Knowledge of Year 12 Chemistry is assumed.
Students should note that it may be possible to transfer between streams at the end of Semester 1.
Credit is available for only one of 610-141 or 610-161 and for only one of 610-142 or 610-162.
Recommended first year subjects for students specialising in Chemistry:
Students intending to enrol in Physical Chemistry 610-211 should note that 100 level Mathematics and 100 level Physics are recommended.
The School of Chemistry offers a selection of subjects at the 200-level. These subjects all reinforce the basic principles introduced in Chemistry 610-141 + 610-142 and extend further to a more sophisticated treatment of the subject.
Students intending to specialise in Chemistry, or keep open the option of specialising in Chemistry, must enrol in at least 37.5 points of 200-level Chemistry including at least three of the four core subjects, [610-210 (or 610-211), 610-220 (or 610-221), 610-240 (or 610-241), 610-260] and include at least three of the units containing practical work [610-215, 610-225, 610-245, 610-260].
A number of minimum combinations are available for students wishing to specialise in both Chemistry and another discipline [for example 610-210, 610-220 and 610-240 plus the three practical units 610-215, 610-225 and 610-245 = 37.5 points].
Course A - For students specialising in Chemistry
Course B - For students specialising in Chemistry in conjunction with a second branch of science
A selection of subjects is available at the 300-level. Students intending to specialise in Chemistry only must enrol in at least 50 points of 300-level Chemistry including at least two of the three areas of Chemistry [two of 610-311 (or 610-310), 610-321 (or 610-320), 610-341 (or 610-340)]. These subjects continue to develop fundamental principles of Chemistry in both theory and practical work.
Students intending to continue to BSc (Honours) in Chemistry should note that they are strongly recommended to enrol in at least 50 points of 300-level Chemistry.
Course A - For students specialising in Chemistry
Course B - For students specialising in Chemistry in conjunction with a second branch of science
For students focusing on the physical, mathematical or geological sciences should select at least 50 points of Chemistry including at least two of the three core areas of Chemistry [three of 610-310, 610-320, 610-340].
For students focusing on the biological sciences should select at least 50 points of Chemistry including 610-310, 610-320, 610-330 and 610-340. Also see Honours requirements below.
For information about the Faculty and departmental entry requirements for Honours, please refer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) and Bachelor of Information Systems (Honours). These requirements should be considered when planning your course.
For all laboratory classes in (100 to 400 Level) Chemistry students are required to wear a standard laboratory coat, approved safety glasses or goggles, and approved footwear. Thongs or sandals are not permitted in laboratories.
Special Requirements: For all Chemistry 100-level subjects: Laboratory manuals and an A4 duplicate note-book. Access to a calculator and sets of molecular models is recommended.

Combined Science/Engineering students should speak to an Engineering Course Adviser before enrolling in these subjects as it may be recommended that 'Science' Chemistry subjects are completed instead. Credit towards the Bachelor of Science will not be awarded for the completion of 610-023, 610-024 or 610-033.
