Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Chemistry
 
The overall aim of the Chemistry programme is to provide students with a strong foundation in all principal areas of chemical science and to demonstrate the application of this knowledge in solving real-life chemical problems. The curriculum is designed to equip students with adequate knowledge in both pure and applied chemistry so that they are adequately and flexibly trained for both employment and postgraduate studies locally or overseas.
 
The structure of the curriculum is as follows:
 
I) Major Courses 58 units
II) Project 3 units
III) General Education 38 units
IV) Free Electives# 30 units
    ───────
  129 units
 
# Students may take additional GE courses in any categories to fulfill the “Free Electives” requirement but only a maximum of 6 units will be counted towards the fulfillment of the “Free Electives” requirement.
