Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

A chemistry degree gives you sought-after scientific, analytic and problem solving skills.

This is an exciting and challenging time for chemistry. Solutions to global challenges such as sustainability, energy supply and health and medicine will all require new materials and molecules. These will be developed by chemists.

The study of chemistry is fun and interesting and the topics you will cover are stimulating and relevant. Your lecturers are passionate, engaging and internationally recognised researchers.

Learn the fundamentals
The Bachelor of Science (Chemistry) at Massey University will provide you with a foundation in chemistry’s fundamental principles. You’ll learn theories of structure of molecules and materials and how structure determines their properties and reactivity. You’ll also learn how to synthesise new compounds and analytical methods.

We have slightly different applications on our different campuses. For instance, fundamental principles are applied to modern research and applications in chemical biology, chemical synthesis and materials/nanoscience if you study at Manawat?. On our Auckland campus, they are applied more to computational, environmental and biological chemistry.

Real-world problem solving
You’ll be able to carry out experiments and projects applying fundamental chemistry knowledge to solve real-world problems. Previous students have:

developed new porous materials that can capture carbon dioxide to combat global warming
worked with veterinarians to develop new materials for controlled anaesthetic release
applied machine-learning methods for fast and accurate spectroscopic analysis of forage feeds and pasture types
built their own scientific instrumentation

Campus Information

Auckland campus

Massey University’s innovative Auckland / Oteha campus is located on the North Shore of New Zealand’s largest city – Auckland. The campus grounds are peaceful with many native trees and plants, yet it’s only a five minute walk to the expansive Westfield shopping centre with its movie theatres, shops, restaurants and numerous fast food outlets. If you want to travel further, there are buses running regular routes around the North Shore region and into Auckland city.

Manawatu campus

The Manawatu campus is Massey's original campus. With lovely heritage buildings and park-like grounds located near Palmerston North city, it is one of the best places in the country to experience the real student lifestyle. With a huge portion of the population under 25 it is the perfect place for learning and living. The large campus is beautiful year-round with 11,500 different varieties of plants and trees in the form of manicured gardens, green fields, woodlands and bush.

Job Opportunity Potential

Upon graduating you’ll be able to apply your fundamental knowledge to challenging global issues. You will develop critical thinking skills which, combined with analytical and problem solving skills and your understanding of the principles of chemistry will allow you to make valuable contributions to public debates. These include climate change, water quality and sustainable use of resources.

For example chemists are developing materials to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They are developing batteries that use earth-abundant elements. And they are investigating magnetic molecules for sustainable computing and quantum computing applications. Chemists work with biologists, physicists and biochemists to design and synthesise new pharmaceuticals for treating cancer and other diseases.

PSW Opportunity

During study, all students on a student visa can work up to 20 hours per week during semester and full time during vacations.
After completing Level 7 Bachelor’s Degree or Higher Qualification, a student will get a three years open post-study work visa.
After completing Level 8 Post Graduate courses of 1 year, students get 1 year PSW.
