Abstract

![CDATA[We design first year Chemistry subjects so that chemistry fits seamlessly into non-Chemistry science degree programs, preparing the students for subjects with chemistry as prerequisite as well as adding to and supporting the course learning outcomes of those degrees. Furthermore we tell students that Chemistry is generally applicable, and as an enabling science, will support whatever context they end up working in. Students know they are likely to change occupations / careers / disciplines and thus concepts and skills fundamental to all applied sciences are very valuable.]]
