This subject is designed for students who want to understand how chemistry works in the real world, without needing a prior background in science. Whether your studies connect to health, agriculture, fermentation, or another applied field, you will find that chemistry shapes the behaviour of substances and the properties processes, materials, and products you encounter everywhere in your work and daily life. This subject builds understanding step by step , starting from foundational principles and progressing through topics including chemical analysis and measurement, the phases of matter and their transformations, acids, bases and pH, molecules essential to life, and an introduction to biochemical reactions and processes. The focus throughout is on transferable insights, real-world reasoning, and practical application, underpinned by chemistry principles and concepts: you will develop skills in monitoring and measuring chemical parameters, applying laboratory and industry techniques, solving applied problems, and communicating findings clearly. Accessibility is central to how the subject is structured. Study materials and tutorials are available online across the semester, and a three-day practical workshop offers both on-campus and remote participation options. Students attending in person are welcome to join us at our Launceston laboratories; those completing the subject online or remotely will receive a workshop materials kit (posted to any address within Australia).
