Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject will develop and expand your knowledge of key concepts and skills in organic and physical chemistry. The organic chemistry component has a strong focus on stereochemistry and reaction mechanisms. The physical chemistry component covers chemical kinetics, catalysis and their relationship with reaction mechanism, with a focus on applications in organic chemistry. Learning activities include lectures, tutorials, online learning activities, workshops and laboratory classes.
