Course Description:
The course provides an opportunity for students with a major in chemistry (eg. students who have studied the Bachelor of Science(Biochemistry/Chemistry) course, or equivalent) who wish to pursue a chemistry career. The program is also useful for articulating students who have an undergraduate degree in chemistry from another institution and wish to further their career with an honours year at Swinburne. The honours year at Swinburne is well recognised as a pathway to a research career in chemistry, including analytical, colloid, environmental, organic, polymer or surface chemistry. It forms a particularly good stepping-stone to a PhD in chemistry research. An overall Honours Grading is based on 60% of the Project and 40% of the Lecture component.
Aims & Objectives:
The objective of this course is to allow high achieving students to gain a degree with honours in chemistry. Students undertaking this course will also be prepared for higher degree studies.

Education Abroad:
Swinburne offers International Exchange Programs as well as other Education Abroad Programs to help internationalise your degree. International Exchange is an academic program allowing you to study at a Swinburne Partner Institution for one or two semesters during your degree. Swinburne's Partner Institutions offer many relevant subjects as well as a secure base to explore a different culture.
