CHEMISTRY IN THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

Chemistry - The Central Science

Almost every item in our modern world has involved a chemist at some stage of its production: in the development of the pens with which we write, the petrol that powers the cars we drive or the million and one household items, from detergents to glue which we use every day. Consequently, chemistry is a science central to many of the more rapidly evolving areas of technology.

Modern chemical laboratories often have sophisticated electronic equipment linked to computers. Such laboratories require highly skilled personnel for their operation and for interpretation of results. These people are today's chemistry graduates. Such a professionally accredited chemistry major is available at UTAS.

Chemistry Major in the BSc

The BSc with a chemistry major is offered in Hobart; the first year may also be taken in Launceston (but in a limited range of disciplines). This major (normally three years) provides a sound theoretical basis in chemistry which is enriched by reference to relevant industrial and biological applications. An additional year of study may be taken that leads to a BSc(Honours) degree.
