Honours
Please check the current students website (Find a unit of study) for up-to-date information on units of study including availability.
Honours in Medicinal Chemistry is a one-year component embedded within the Bachelor of Advanced Studies. Students undertake a 36-credit point research project and complete two 6-credit point coursework units that will aid in the development of their fundamental research and communication skills.
Honours in Medicinal Chemistry is available to students with a major in chemistry or a cognate area that is relevant to the project. Admittance into the program is determined by the Faculty of Science as well as the Honours coordinator.
