Chemistry is a central science - a key part of your scientific toolbox. If you have an enquiring, analytical mind and good powers of observation, then chemistry is the perfect discipline for you. Our chemistry graduates are sought after in areas of research and development, management, law, manufacturing and processing, finance and for chemical analysis laboratory positions.
We're ranked #2 in Australia for research output in chemistry (Nature Index Institution Output, 2024). The School of Chemistry is a leading centre for both teaching and research excellence in Australia – developing cutting-edge knowledge to solve real-world problems. Your learning will be spread across tutorials, lectures, online content and hands-on experiments in our teaching labs. The Students of Chemistry Society (SOCS) organise many social events open to undergraduate and postgraduate students, staff and anyone on campus with an interest in chemistry, medicinal chemistry or nanotechnology. SOCS is supported by ARC, the UNSW student organisation.
Chemistry is all about discovering new ways of looking at the world and exploring new techniques to make it better. We'll provide you with opportunities to get involved in research so you can gain the skills and experience needed to make your own meaningful discoveries.
