The structures of courses are described on the following
pages in the above order (alphabetical). Courses combining
the single major chemistry with instrumentation, computing
or mathematics are also offered on an individual basis,
subject in each case to the approval of the Divisional Board.
*A CO-major is offered by the Division of Science,
Engineering and Design and Division of Business,
Humanities and Social Science.
As some courses may have minor changes made in 1996 some
alterations may be made to subject codes and contact hours.
Up-to-date listings of subjects and hours will be made
available to students on enrolment and re-enrolment.

This program combines major studies in chemistry and
applied chemistry. Computers are widely used in chemical
laboratories to control instruments, manage data and control
g experiments. This unique chemistry course equips students
(D
for the computerised laboratory. All aspects of the course
are reinforced by paid industrial experience.

(D Career potential
Using their knowledge of chemical principles and their
E. application to industrial problems graduates take up
positions with private and public companies or with
2. government and semi-government organisations such as
CSIRO. Initially graduates usually work in laboratories
g associated with manufacturing (industrial and agricultural
U chemicals, textiles, explosives, fertilisers, detergents, plastics,
i. dyes, paints, pharmaceuticals) or in the processing of food,
coal, oil, gas or minerals.
Further opportunities exist in research, development,
technical services, sales, government organisations
concerned with health and environment and administration.
Professional recognition
Graduates are eligible for membership of the Royal
Australian Chemical Institute.
Prerequisites (entrance 1996)
Units 3 and 4: Chemistry and Mathematical Methods.
TAFE articulation
Students who have completed the Swinburne TAFE
Associate Diploma of Applied Science (Laboratory
Technology), with appropriate bridging subjects TL501,
TL502, TL503 may be admitted into the second year of the
course.
