Advanced Chemistry Co-Major - 2010
Co-Major
Description
Chemistry is part of everything around you; from medicine and food production to agriculture chemicals, cleaning products and environmental protection. Chemistry at Swinburne is an enabling science that involves the fundamental study of how molecules react, as well as how we can detect and use them. The Advanced Chemistry Co-Major covers the far reaching applications of chemistry including forensic science, polymer formation, water analysis, the creation of new materials, agricultural chemistry and environmental science.
The Advanced Chemistry Co-Major and Advanced Chemistry Minor are only available to students enrolled in the Biosciences, Biotechnology or Medical Biophysics Professional Majors or where prerequisite requirements have been meet.
Career opportunities
Chemistry Graduates are in high-demand, and there are wide-ranging opportunities for chemists in industrial chemistry, chemical research and analysis, environmental and agricultural research, nanotechnology, pharmacy, food and drink technology, forensic science, the petrochemical industry, the pharmaceutical industry, quality control, water-quality analysis and the wine industry.
Structure
A Co-Major is a sequence of study focused on a specific discipline while assuming no prior knowledge on the part of the student. It is usually self-contained, in that it includes any requisite foundation studies. Where a student has studied a Co-Major they are not normally eligible to apply to graduate with the associated tagged degree outcome. Co-Majors contain up to one elective choice and are made up of 8 units (100cps).
