Bachelor of Science (Chemistry)

Description of the Programme

Chemists play a leading role in the fight against disease, the development of sustainable industrial processes, criminal investigations, the discovery and utilization of natural resources and new materials for applications in nanotechnology just to mention a few. A lot of the technological advancements we take for granted, from plastic and vulcanized rubber to laundry detergent and unleaded gasoline would never have been realized without the painstaking work of professional chemists. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is therefore designed to provide a thorough foundation in the various fields of chemistry and to prepare students for careers as professional chemists.  It also prepares graduates for future training in graduate chemical and biomedical professional programmes. The curriculum offers a thorough fundamental knowledge of the major fields of chemistry covering fundamental areas of general chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, chemical research, etc. Students will learn the chemical principles underpinning disciplines such as biochemistry, medicine, engineering, materials science, food science and nanotechnology.\
