Overview

Bachelor of Science - Chemistry

Chemistry is sometimes called the ‘central science’ because it connects other sciences such as physics, biology and geology. 

However, it is science at a molecular level, where major advances are being made in medicine, IT, nanotechnology and new materials.

In this course, you'll learn to become a skilled chemist. You’ll study theoretical and practical aspects of chemistry, including synthesis, analysis and spectroscopy. 

Your learning will be largely laboratory-based in Curtin’s Resources and Chemistry Precinct.

You’ll also learn the problem-solving, teamwork and critical analysis skills that can open opportunities for diverse science careers.

You can select from an extensive range of following specialisations to study:

  • Analytical and Forensic Chemistry
  • Chemistry of Sustainable Development
  • Environmental Biology
  • Environmental Geochemistry
  • Materials Science 

This major sits within the Bachelor of Science (Science) degree. It can also be studied as part of the Bachelor of Advanced Science course.
