Introduction
The University of New South Wales Program UF High School Program is the #1 offshore Australian program in China. The program is the also #1 source of undergraduate students from China for the Australian G8 with over 320 gaining admission to Melbourne, Monash, UNSW and Sydney in 2017.

The program is the only one in China that has integrated an overseas university's postgraduate foundation program into the normal high school curriculum due to the normal high achievement and academic background of the partner schools and their students. All students must meet regular language and academic benchmarks of the accelerated 28 month high school program to maintain their enrollment.

Prior to the final year of studies, students choose one of three study streams to the enter: Commerce, Physical Science and Design. The Design Stream is the only program in the country offered to Chinese high school students interested in pursuing university studies in Architecture, Urban Planning, and similar disciplines.

CHEMISTRY COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Chemistry course aims to provide a range of knowledge and skills required for further study in Science and Engineering. From basic principles, this subject develops a deeper knowledge of modern chemistry ideas and applications. On successful completion of the course a student will:

-have a knowledge of the language and basic ideas of chemical science
-have an understanding of the properties of materials and the changes they undergo
-be able to explain the chemical reactions, properties and structures observed or studied using established laws, theories and concepts
-be able to perform a range of simple chemical calculations
-be able to perform a range of simple manipulative and measurement skills associated with a chemical laboratory.

Topics: Fundamental concepts; names of common elements, symbols, formulas and equations; mole concept and mole calculations; periodic table - patterns and trends; atomic structure and chemical bonding, VSEPR theory; states of matter - properties and structure; solutions; gas laws; fuels, calorimetry, enthalpy and thermochemistry. Electrolytes and solubility/precipitation; net ionic equations; reactions of acids and bases; chemical equilibria (Ka and Ksp); oxidation-reduction reactions; electrochemical cells. Organic compounds, nomenclature and typical functional group reactions. Compulsory lab work.
