A selection of research projects from within the Discipline of Chemistry will be on offer.  Students will undertake their individual project within a research group in the College of Physical Sciences under the supervision of the group leader. This is an Honours Pathway Course.  Completion of particular chemistry C courses may be a requirement  for certain of the projects on offer.

On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. plan and engage in a critical investigation of a chosen area of specialisation in chemistry, in the context of working within an internationally competitive research group
2. systematically identify relevant theory and concepts, relate these to appropriate methodologies and evidence, and draw appropriate conclusions
3. engage in systematic discovery and critical review of appropriate and relevant information sources
4. communicate research concepts and contexts clearly and effectively both in writing and orally

Assessment will be based on:

• Lab book (30%; LO 1, 2, 3, 4)
• Written report (50%; LO 1, 2, 3, 4)
• 10-minute seminar (10%; LO 1, 2, 3, 4)
• Supervisor assessment of research potential (10%; LO 1, 2, 3, 4)

A maximum of 65 hours of project work in a research laboratory.

Completion of a minimum of 12 units of other chemistry level 3000 courses
