University of Western Australia

In this course, Students will develop an understanding of the mechanisms, reactions and processes that occur at the molecular level. Students will also study the elements that make up all matter, and how they interact with each other to construct living organisms, transmit power from the sun, and produce minerals and fuel environmental processes. To complement lectures from renowned experts in their various fields, Students will have the chance to discuss, apply and expand on the theory of unit in weekly practical laboratory classes. The Bayliss Building in the School of Biomedical, bio molecular and Chemical Sciences is equipped with excellent laboratory facilities for undergraduate teaching. Its teaching and research laboratories are supported by state-of-the-art instrumentation for the important methods of structure determination (nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry), as well as a wide variety of complementary techniques.
In this course major studies include development of in depth knowledge related to molecular scale, encompassing the synthesis and study of molecules and materials, the exploration of their properties and the development of ways to use them.
On completion of this course from university of Western Australia, Graduates will be eligible for membership of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, the organization for chemistry professionals in Australia.
Chemistry graduates will be in demand over the next decade in chemical manufacturing and processing industries such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fine chemicals, metals, polymers, electricity, steel, mining and petroleum. Career opportunities can be found in analytical and quality control laboratories as environmental and analytical or forensic chemists, in universities, scientific institutes, government or private sector laboratories as research chemists, and in secondary or tertiary institutions as teachers. Diverse roles in private companies, local councils, state and federal government regulatory authorities and hospitals are other possibilities. This course leads to become a: Agricultural Scientist, Biochemist, Biotechnologist, Chemical Engineer, Chemist, Environmental Consultant, Environmental Engineer, Environmental Manager, Environmental Scientist, Food Scientist, Forensic Scientist, Laboratory Manager, Secondary School Teacher, Toxicologist.
