Offered by the Department of Chemistry
The BSc Honours degree programme in Chemistry expects to provide students with a sound knowledge in the discipline of chemistry. The degree is awarded upon completion of a minimum of 120 credits over a period of four years. During the first two years students are provided with the basic theoretical foundation and essential practical skills. Advanced concepts are introduced during the next two years. In addition, students are exposed to current areas of interest in the field of chemistry. In the final year of the programme students are required to complete a research project under the supervision of an academic staff member. The knowledge gained and research experience would equip the students to be successful in academia or industry.
Degree Aims
- To provide a solid foundation of the concepts in chemistry.
- To apply the knowledge gained and skills developed in the field of chemistry as well as related disciplines.
- To be an effective communicator who would contribute to the development of the discipline and society at large.
- To develop a responsible global citizen with a high degree of integrity and empathy
