Chemistry studies the structure, chemical properties, reactions and interactions of molecules. It is applied in the development of new, useful chemicals such as plastics, fuels, pharmaceuticals and molecular devices. Chemistry underpins many other areas of Science - advances in areas such as molecular biology, biomedical science, environmental management and nanotechnology have involved substantial contributions from trained chemists.

Studying Physics can open doors to exciting employment opportunities throughout the world in government, industry, schools and private organizations. Careers in physics cover many fields - from basic research, environmental science, astronomy and astrophysics to medical physics, engineering, education and computer science. Knowledge of physics can also influence and further careers in commerce, publishing, sports, journalism and law. The University of Adelaide has built a long tradition of world-class physics, dating back to Nobel Prize winning physicist Sir William Bragg's work at the University.
