Your new team - School of Chemistry The School of Chemistry at The University of Melbourne is one of the largest and oldest in Australia with a distinguished history in teaching and research. The first lectures in chemistry in The University of Melbourne were given in 1856, only three years after the University was founded. Since then, the school has grown and developed and there are presently over 2500 undergraduates enrolled in Chemistry subjects, with more than 150 BSc (Hons), MSc and PhD research students. It has an excellent international reputation in research and an outstanding record of achievement in attracting external research funding. Research in the School of Chemistry covers a wide spectrum from the design, synthesis, and properties of new materials through to protein structure and chemistry. Many research programs sit at interdisciplinary boundaries with physics, engineering, and biology. Science at Melbourne is a global leader across discovery and applied scientific research and education. Science begins with curiosity, and we are dedicated to understanding the universe from the level of sub-atomic particles to the solar system. We aim to be leaders who positively impact the community locally and globally, addressing major societal issu
