Chemistry Preparation

Chemistry is the scientific discipline that explores the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter. It involves studying the interactions of atoms and molecules to understand how substances combine, transform, and break down in various chemical reactions. Chemistry serves as a foundational science, bridging physics with biology and environmental science, and plays a critical role in developing new materials, medicines, and technologies. It is divided into several branches, including organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and biochemistry, each focusing on different aspects of chemical phenomena.

The Chemistry Preparation bridging microcredential will provide you with a solid foundation for your university chemistry studies. In addition, you will have the opportunity to get to know other students, as well as the academics you'll be learning from throughout your studies.

• Gain foundational skills relevant to a range of first-year units - Get comprehensive preparation for units in chemistry, biomolecular sciences, biochemistry and medical science.
• Learn about acids, bases and organic chemistry - Study molarity, pH, the Brønsted-Lowry model, Lewis acids and bases - as well as chemistry's functional groups and reactions.
• Learn about atoms, molecules and stoichiometry - Study elements, atomic structure and the periodic table; bonding and electronegativity; and balancing equations and equilibrium.
