Course CRICOS Code: 043394K
Registered full-time Duration for International Onshore Students on student visas: 1 Year

Introduction

This research course develops a more critical and problem solving approach to the professional practice of chemistry than is possible to achieve in a first qualification. The course forms a basis for the professional development of experts able to cope with sophisticated research and development problems in industry.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

An honours degree in chemistry (first or second class) or a Postgraduate Diploma in Chemistry or an equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary educational institution.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis.

Duration and Availability

The course is by research and normally requires one year of full-time or equivalent part-time study.

Course Organisation

This course is studied as a research degree. The content of the degree should be determined in consultation with the Postgraduate Coordinator, Department of Applied Chemistry. Students without prior studies in research methods and statistical data analysis will be required to undertake relevant preparatory units. This will increase the stated course duration.

Additional Course Expenses

Students are expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other essential study materials. Students will require a laboratory coat.

Special Note

It is a requirement that two-thirds of this course is undertaken by research and only one-third by coursework. Students should not enrol in this research course to receive the Postgraduate Diploma in Chemistry but rather have undertaken it as a requisite for admission.
