The Department of Chemistry is a member of the School of Molecular Sciences and Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering. Chemistry is also part of the newly established La Trobe Institute for Molecular Sciences (LIMS), a $98M project that will provide new state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities for chemistry. The Institute will support, expand and extend the teaching and research work of the School of Molecular Sciences at La Trobe (including chemistry, biochemistry and genetics).
Chemistry is taught at all year levels in undergraduate study, from Bachelors degrees through to Honours. The Department offers postgraduate degrees by research at Masters and PhD level as well as a Masters of Chemical Science coursework degree.
Excellent facilities are available for research across a wide range of chemistry. All academic staff offer projects for qualified research applicants. The Honours and Masters projects are indicative of the particular research interests of each staff member. There are more than 25 postgraduate students in the Department.
