|
Scholarships and Prizes
There are several Scholarships and Prizes that are given out on merit to students studying chemistry.
Degree Programs
There are several degree programs in which chemistry can be studied.
-
As a major study within the Bachelor of Science (BSc), chemistry is usually combined with other subjects such as biology, computing, physics, electronics, geology, mathematics and computing, statistics and psychology.
-
Chemistry can be studied at an advanced level in the Bachelor of Science in Advanced Chemistry. Note: Macquarie is currently reducing HECS on Advanced Chemistry units. For more information click here
-
The Bachelor of Science in Molecular Technologies is a new degree for 2003 and is more applied and specialised. It has been developed in collaboration with industry.
-
Chemistry is also studied as part of the Bachelor of Medical Sciences, Bachelor of Marine Science and Bachelor of Environmental Sciences.
For details concerning unit prerequisites and programs of study in chemistry please refer to the Handbook of Undergraduate Study
