Undergraduate Studies
Sustainable Chemistry (3rd year elective CHM 3972)
This 3rd year subject investigates how chemistry can contribute to Ecologically Sustainable
Development (ESD). It consists of two major subject areas and an applied chemistry project.
Green Chemistry
The creation of new materials and chemical processes which reduce environmental impacts while remaining cost-effective and useful.
Energy Chemistry
The problems associated with current methods of energy production and thee development of new, alternative technologies.
Applied Chemistry Project
A substantial laboratory project relating to sustainable chemistry research.
Opportunities
Monash University is the only academic institution in the world with a dedicated research facility in
multi-disciplinary Green Chemistry. Graduates of this 3rd year subject therefore have exciting
opportunities in honours and post-graduates research at the Centre for Green Chemistry.
Pre-requisite
12 points of level 1 chemistry and normally 12 points of level 2 chemistry. Students without 12
points of 2nd level chemistry should consult the co-ordinator.
Prohibitions
Students who have completed CHM3031, CHM3042, CHM3051 or CHM3062 must consult the coordinator.
Co-ordinator
Dr. Kei Saito
Lecturer
