It provides a modern education in chemistry, particularly those areas currently in high demand, including:
- Analytical chemistry
- Surface science
- Synthesis of biologically active compounds.
First year studies in chemistry can be combined with other science units, and non-science units, and take students on to later-year specialisations in:
- Environmental chemistry (at the Bendigo Campus)
- Medicinal chemistry
- Solid state chemistry
- Water and air chemistry
- Computerised chemistry.
The Faculty offers a range of competitive industry experience options through our Industry Cadetship and Integrated Business Learning programs and these vary by course and campus of enrolment. | | | | MAJOR AREAS OF STUDY | Melbourne (Bundoora) campus: Chemistry, food chemistry, biological chemistry, medicinal chemistry.
