Staff + Student LoginChemistry
Chemistry is concerned with the properties of substances and materials from an atomic/molecular perspective. Most Chemistry papers involve approximately equal time spent in lectures and in laboratory work so that the theoretical and experimental aspects of the topics may be explored together.
Chemistry is available as a major for the BSc and BSc(Tech). Chemistry may also be taken as a second major or as a supporting subject within other undergraduate degrees, subject to academic approval of the Faculty or School of Studies in which the student is enrolled.
To complete a major in Chemistry, students must gain 120 points above 100 level in Chemistry, including CHEM201, CHEM202, CHEM203, and three of CHEM301, CHEM302, CHEM303 or CHEM306.
Note: Amendments to the requirements of the BSc(Hons) are subject to approval by the Universities New Zealand Committee on University Academic Programmes (CUAP).
Note on Assessment: Maori language tutorials can be arranged on request, subject to the availability of tutors. However, because of the technical nature of the terminology and accepted international practice, this Department requires that all material for assessment for all papers be presented in English.

Prescriptions for the GradCert(Chem) and GradDip(Chem) A Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma are available to graduates who have not included Chemistry at an advanced level in their first degree. |
Prescriptions for the PGCert(Chem), PGDip(Chem), BSc(Hons), MSc and MSc(Tech) Students in masters degrees are normally required to take a thesis and a selection of papers. Enrolment in papers towards the BSc(Hons) is only by invitation of the Chairperson. Candidates for these graduate qualifications should select their papers in consultation with the Chairperson of Department. |
