Foundation Chemistry
Program Summary
Module group of: STEM & Natural Sciences Pathway If you decide to take the Chemistry module, you'll learn all about atomic structure, empirical and molecular formulae, periodicity, energy, kinetics, equilibria, redox reactions, properties of solutions, acids and bases, and analytical techniques. Because this is part of the STEM & Natural Sciences pathway, you'll take chemistry alongside a core Mathematics for Natural Sciences module. This combination of subjects is beneficial, and can help you use calculations when measuring dilutions and mixing solutions or understand the elements that makeup molecules by using qualitative and quantitative models, for example. In turn, your mathematics study will be enhanced by your chemistry knowledge because you'll get more opportunities to practise things like mathematical or algebraic equations in your chemistry lessons. This blend of subject knowledge is useful for a number of careers in industries such as chemistry, scientific research, chemical engineering, medicine, and more. In fact, if you choose to study chemistry and mathematics together, you’ll be eligible to apply for degrees in Chemistry, Natural sciences, and Pharmacy. You will study a total of four modules: Mathematics for Natural Sciences, Science & Society and you will be allocated either one of English for Scientific Academic Purposes or Academic Expression & Critical Thinking as listed in the 'Teaching & structure' tab on the STEM & Natural Sciences pathway page. Take a look at the Chemistry module and Mathematics for Natural Sciences module to see more details about what you will learn from each foundation module, and view the full list of recommended and eligible undergraduate degrees on the tabs below.
