Introduction

This course is designed for those who wish to pursue careers in the world of commerce which are firmly grounded on a professional scientific background in industrial and applied chemistry. Students will complete this course as a Bachelor of Science with a Chemistry major and as a Bachelor of Commerce with a major in Information Systems. A substantial proportion of the activities in a modern economy is based on chemical materials and chemical processes. Examples include food, drugs, organic and inorganic materials, fuel, lubricants, and so on. There are also the aspects of managing the impact of these activities on the natural and human environment.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

TEE Chemistry and Applicable Mathematics.

Specific Requirements

The STAT is not accepted for entry to this course.

Note

Students will normally be expected to have attained a higher Tertiary Entrance Rank than is required for both single degrees.

Recognition of Prior Learning
