BSc(Curtin), BCom(Curtin)

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 Marketing. 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.
