Bachelor of Biotechnology (Honours) - Chemistry

The Australian National University

The Chemistry Honours specialisation is intended for students who have a foundational knowledge of the field and are interested in undertaking an independent research project under the direction of a supervisor. The Honours specialization is usually taken full time for two consecutive semesters and includes research training, in-depth analysis of current concepts in the field as well as a substantial research project culminating in the production of a thesis. It provides a solid foundation in the basics of research, and can be an entry into many careers both within and outside of science, or a pathway to a PhD in chemistry.Learning OutcomesPlan and engage in an independent and sustained critical investigation of a chosen research topic to generate new knowledge in an area of chemistry.Systematically evaluate relevant theory and concepts in chemistry, relate these to appropriate methodologies and evidence and draw appropriate conclusions.Analyse and interpret original chemistry research dataDemonstrate sufficient mastery to understand and apply relevant experimental techniques and methods in chemistry to collect original research data.
