Subject outline
Advanced Chemistry A is a core third year subject required for a chemistry major. The subject provides a series of specialised modules across a broad range of topics in chemistry. The flexible choice of modules enables students to tailor the subject to their interests and professional goals. Students undertake core modules in organic synthesis and techniques for chemical analysis (e.g.: nuclear magnetic resonance, separation science, atomic spectroscopy). Two additional module topics are selected from a selection of topics, including mass spectrometry, bonding and molecular structure, sustainability and environment chemistry, polymer chemistry and heterocyclic chemistry. Learning activities within the subject include lectures, tutorials, workshops and laboratory classes.
