Program Description
Our understanding of Chemistry is continuously evolving as a consequence of chemical research. Each student will identify a hypothesis in an area of contemporary chemistry and, in collaboration with their supervisor, design and undertake a research project to test the hypothesis. The results of the project will be communicated through written tasks and oral presentation culminating in an Honours thesis. Successful completion of the unit will demonstrate that you have mastered significant research and professional skills for a future career and may lead to the opportunity to proceed to a postgraduate degree.
