The Honours program in Chemistry operates as a suite of four courses, which together are employed to produce a single final grade.
This course is composed of directed research in a selected area of current chemistry at an advanced level, applying knowledge of the project area based on a relevant literature review and developed experimental methodology already completed.
In order to participate in this course, students must complete a compulsory Workplace Health and Safety requirement. Students will receive full information on this compulsory component in the course outline provided by the school.
| Objectives | On successful completion of this course, students will have: 1. advanced knowledge relevant to the professional practice of chemistry at an advanced level 2. developed an understanding of the application of chemistry to problems in industrial and research environments 3. developed high-level skills in information searching, selection, retrieval and interpretation 4. developed an understanding of the tasks of the research chemist in project development and problem solving 5. been provide with experience and developed independence in the pursuit of an advanced experimental project 6. developed skills in procedures and instrumental methods relevant to pursuit of an advanced experimental project 7. developed high-level skills in the scientific method of planning, developing, conducting, reviewing and reporting a major project 8. to develop a deeper understanding of the professional and safety responsibilities residing in experimental research and development projects |
