CHM115 Chemistry 1A OR CHM108 Chemical Fundamentals

Students will chose between CHM108 and CHM115 on the basis of their availability to attend the residential school for the subject. CHM108 is a broader Chemistry subject but the residential school is earlier than that of CHM115, whose residential school is designed to avoid vintage. However, for students likely to consider transferring to the Bachelor of Viticulture or the Bachelor of Wine Science, CHM115 is the preferred subject as CHM108 is not equivalent to CHM115 and could therefore not be credited.
