About Chemistry
Whether you’re interested in developing new vaccines, conducting forensic analysis in criminal cases, improving the environment or formulating innovative cosmetic products, studying Chemistry can get you there.
Is Chemistry right for me?
In terms of personality, chemists tend to be investigative and inquisitive people. They are also methodical and logical, capable of creating hypotheses, following procedures and documenting results.
Typical workplaces for Chemistry graduates include offices, laboratories and chemical manufacturing plants, and you’ll be able to enjoy a good balance between working independently as well as contributing to a bigger team effort.
Chemistry study options and costs

As a rough guide, a Bachelor of Science costs around AUD$40,000 a year in Australia and roughly £30,000 a year in the UK. With a degree under your belt, you will be able to access careers in medical science, food science, chemical engineering and even out-of-the-box fields such as education and IT.
Future outlook
Chemistry is set to see modest job growth of around 4% a year, which is in line with the average across all careers. The average salary for chemists in the United States is USD$83,850, although top-range chemists earn an average of USD$125,400.
If you don’t end up working as a chemist or in a relevant specialisation, it’s also possible to become a scientist, educator, project manager or policymaker, to name just a few avenues!
Career pathways for Chemistry graduates

Research Chemists
Research chemists use their knowledge of chemical compounds to improve processes and products. They may work in cosmetics, electronics or pharmaceuticals, helping companies develop new products or improve existing products. Through their work, research chemists also help to advance scientific developments and theories.
Organic Chemist
Organic chemists study the structure and properties of molecules that contain carbon, as well as how these molecules react. Responsible for designing and developing new organic substances, organic chemists help companies continuously innovate and invent, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry.
Analytical Chemist
Analytical chemists play an important role in the development of science and medicine. Investigating the chemical nature of substances and their behaviour in different conditions, analytical chemists ensure products are safe for human consumption. Typically working in a pharmaceutical setting, analytical chemists may also work in the food and water industries.
Chemical Engineer
Chemical engineers are some of the most sought-after Chemistry professionals, responsible for designing and overseeing the industrial processes that are followed to create products and goods. From identifying opportunities for increased efficiency to preparing reports for stakeholders, chemical engineers are important intermediaries in industrial settings.
Clinical Biochemist
A clinical biochemist helps to diagnose and manage diseases by analysing bodily fluid samples. Working closely with GPs and clinicians, clinical biochemists determine the appropriate test to conduct, interpret the results of their chemical and biochemical analyses, and conduct follow-up tests if required. Clinical biochemists may work in independent laboratories or within a hospital itself.
