Who would be interested in this course?This course is intended for students who are interested in pursuing a vocation in Chemistry, but prefer internal assessments to external exams.
For those considering studies in medicine at the University of Auckland, it provides a pathway to the Biomedical Sciences degree, but not the Health Science degree. Either of these are the first year for studying medicine.
This course is designed for students who have a passion for Physical &/or Biological and Environmental Sciences, and are aiming for high grades in Level 3 Chemistry. It focuses on developing deep conceptual understanding and applying complex problem-solving skills, particularly in oxidation-reduction processes and electrochemistry. Students will explore how chemical principles apply to real-world contexts. This pathway is ideal for students considering tertiary study in chemistry, engineering, medicine (through the UoA BioMed pathway), or other science-related fields.
Why choose this course?
✔ Focus on mastery and critical thinking
✔ Prepares you for university-level chemistry
✔ Ideal if your goal is Excellence endorsements
✔ You are interested in Scholarship, and are able to do some self-study towards it
