Nanoscience is an emerging area of science that involves the study of materials on an ultra-small scale and the novel properties that these materials demonstrate. This program provides a fundamental and practical of chemistry, enhanced by specialist knowledge of the underlying nanoscience controlling the design and application of functional materials. At the first year level, students receive core training in chemistry and physics. In later year levels, there is an emphasis on examining and quantifying the relationship between chemistry and functional materials. Study covers a wide range of contemporary nanoscience issues including the design of molecular devices with application in the food industry, human and animal health (eg, drug delivery), communications and chemical industries. Students will develop an understanding of the design requirements for a range of advanced materials such as polymers, catalysts, optical switches, sensors and solar cells. Students can develop advanced expertise in a wide range of related disciplines, depending upon study choices in second year. A feature of third year chemistry studies is that students will undertake investigative and research activities into contemporary issues in nanoscience and functional materials.
First year involves core studies in chemistry and physics. Second year has a strong focus on chemistry, including specialist studies in analytical chemistry. Students will supplement their second year chemistry studies with optional courses from a range of offerings across physics, biology and mathematics. In third year students will focus on advanced topics that examine the relationship between chemistry and nanoscale phenomena. In particular, students will develop expertise in chemical synthesis and gain an understanding of the physical and chemical properties of functional materials. Students can also develop advanced expertise in a wide range of related disciplines, depending upon study choices at second year. A fourth year of study is available to qualified students, allowing them to further their research and problem solving skills base by completing an Honours degree.
