• Qualification Doctor of Philosophy - Chemistry

The Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) Code indicates a registered program offered to international students studying in Australia on student visas.

The Curtin campuses or teaching locations where units of this course are offered.

As a doctoral research degree candidate, you will uncover new knowledge either by the discovery of new facts, the formulation of theories or the innovative reinterpretation of known data and established ideas. Your research will use an in-depth understanding of theories and concepts to develop practical solutions for real-world problems.

A higher degree by research differs from other postgraduate degrees in that at least two-thirds of the study program must involve research. Although some coursework units may be required, the main part of your work will be in the form of a thesis written under the guidance of a supervisor and associate supervisor(s). Your thesis must, in the opinion of the examiners, be a substantial original contribution to the knowledge or understanding of any field through the discovery of new facts, the formulation of theories or the innovative reinterpretation of known data and established ideas. It must also demonstrate your capacity to conceive, design and complete independent research.

Throughout your studies, our faculties will provide you with access to equipment and resources to support your research, and financial assistance to attend appropriate local and international conferences.

Please refer to the handbook for additional course overview information.

A world-class centre for research and teaching in the chemical sciences

Chemistry is a central science that provides an important foundation for multiple scientific disciplines. Chemistry at UWA has a long tradition and outstanding reputation in interdisciplinary research, with activity ranging from chemical biology, catalysis, molecular electronics, reaction dynamics and mechanism, to surface science, molecular materials and nanotechnology, molecular and biomolecular structure determination, and theoretical and computational chemistry.

Our researchers have forged strong connections across academia and industry. We work closely with other schools, research centres and departments within the University, and have strong links with many universities, research centres and industrial partners across Australia and overseas.

UWA is a world-class centre for research and teaching in the chemical sciences. The Bayliss Building, with embedded industry partners, makes the School of Molecular Science a vibrant, leading research environment and allows us to keep pace with the ever-changing nature of modern science.

Chemistry at UWA has a long tradition and outstanding reputation in interdisciplinary research in areas including:

• Biological chemistry
• Inorganic chemistry
• Materials and nanotechnology
• Molecular structure
• Molecular synthesis and catalysis
• Organic chemistry
• Physical chemistry
• Theory and computation 
• PhD opportunities

Collaborations and research partners.

Chemistry at UWA is linked to global research networks, including the Matariki Network of Universities , whilst also supporting collaborative programs, exchanges and collaborative research projects with institutions across the world. The impact of our work is elevated by close relationships with industry, philanthropic and consumer partners. In many cases, our industry colleagues are embedded in the Bayliss Building, giving them close access to our cutting-edge facilities and highly-regarded expertise.

Our industry partners include:

Australian Vanadium Ltd (ASX:AVL) is a vertically-integrated battery metals company focussing on energy storage. AVL is progressing the greenfield 'Gabanintha' vanadium deposit, south of Meekatharra in Western Australia. It is also exploring a lithium deposit in South Africa. Vanadium is traditionally used to strengthen steel, but emerging demand is coming from the energy storage market.

Vanadium in electrolyte solution is used in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRB) to store energy. AVL is utilising laboratory space at UWA to electrochemically produce and analytically test vanadium electrolyte with staff and students.

In collaboration with the University the company aims to research commercial advancements in vanadium storage. AVL’s subsidiary, VSUN Energy, sold and commissioned WA’s first VRB.

Proteins date back to the time of sabre toothed cats

Research in the School of Chemistry

The School of Chemistry at the University of Melbourne is one of Australia's leading research centres in the chemical sciences.

Our research themes

With over 25 research groups across the school, our research covers the full breadth of chemical sciences. From functional materials, biological chemistry, and fundamental research through to sustainability and the environment, our research aims to better understand our world and help make it a better place.

Functional materials

Functional materials possess properties with applications in electronics, energy conversion, medicine, food, and catalysis. Our research groups study semiconductor and organic nanoparticles, molecular and polymeric materials, magnetic materials, and metal-organic frameworks.

Biological chemistry and chemical biology

Biological Chemistry and Chemical Biology aims to understand how biological systems work from a chemical perspective and how chemistry can be used to probe and perturb biological systems. Our research includes environmental chemistry, drug design and medicinal chemistry, enzyme catalysis, medical technology and agrichemicals.

Sustainability and the environment

Environmental chemistry seeks to understand chemical and biochemical phenomena in nature, minimise environmental impacts of industry, secure clean air and water, and reduce pollution. Our research includes mitigation of nutrient runoff, clean water, atmospheric chemistry and environmental toxicology.

Fundamental chemical research

Fundamental research underpins the future of chemistry. Fundamental research advances the discipline frontiers, nurtures future scientific and technology breakthroughs, and ensures training at the highest possible levels.
