2 Years
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.
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.
Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis.
One to two years of full-time or equivalent part-time study
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.
Students are expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other essential study materials. Students may require a laboratory coat.
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.
Curtin University reserves the right to alter the internal composition of any course to ensure learning outcomes retain maximum relevance. Any changes to the internal composition of a course will protect the right of students to complete the course within the normal timeframe and will not result in additional cost to students through a requirement to undertake additional units.
