This major is a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) course, designed for high-performing students to pursue their interest in a particular science discipline through a core of research, leadership and entrepreneurship. 

 

This course trains you to become a skilled chemist. You will study theoretical and practical aspects of chemistry, including synthesis, analysis and molecular modelling. Your learning will be largely laboratory-based, at Curtin’s Resources and Chemistry Precinct.

 

As an Advanced Science student, you will benefit from the flexible approach to studying Chemistry, with opportunities to participate in for-credit research experiences, industry placements and/or interdisciplinary team-based projects.

 

You’ll gain practical laboratory experience throughout your studies, with opportunities to engage in immersive industry and/or research experience. In the second and third years of your course, you can undertake for-credit internships and work experience.

 

You’ll also develop skills in problem-solving, teamwork and critical analysis, which are invaluable for careers both within and outside science.
