Overview

About this Microcredential

Chemistry is a branch of science concerned with the synthesis, analysis, reactions and properties of molecules. The study of chemistry is traditionally broken up into five subdisciplines: analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, and biochemistry and stereochemistry.

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.

Key features

Gain foundational skills relevant to a range of first-year units - Get comprehensive preparation for units in chemical and biomolecular sciences, biomolecules 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.
Study in our state-of-the-art facilities - Get a head start on your peers by studying in the same contemporary labs you will in your degree.

Who you will learn from

Associate Professor Joanne Jamie is a bioorganic and medicinal chemist. Her current research focuses on collaborative partnerships with Indigenous communities for documentation, biological screening and isolation of bioactive compounds from bush foods and medicines, and community capability strengthening; the design of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases; and the development of STEM educational resources and programs - the evaluation of their effectiveness - for empowering youth under-represented in higher education.

Dr Ian Jamie has served as chief examiner of HSC Chemistry for the NSW Board of Studies. His interests lie broadly n the field of environmental chemistry, particularly gas phase and atmospheric chemistry, and chemistry education. He has conducted research on greenhouse gas fluxes at the atmosphere-soil interface, greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, formation add characterisation of secondary organic aerosols, and volatile organic compound emissions from plants and animals. Currently, his primary area of research is the development of new attractant compounds for population monitoring and control of insects, particularly fruit fly, and investigating pheromone profiles of these insects.
