A vigorous, fast developing science, chemistry lies at
the heart of most technological developments,
contributing enormously to our economy. Countless
consumer and industrial products, medicines and
pharmaceuticals are produced on processes developed
from the fundamental principles of chemistry.
These programs emphasize the commercial as well as
industrial application of chemistry. They aim to
expand student's fundamental chemical knowledge,
refine student's professional, scientific and
technical skills and to develop student's personal,
communication and management skills. Ultimately
student will be equipped for a successful career in
chemistry, the chemical industries, or a vast range of
alternative scientific, business and professional
occupations such as teaching.
BSc CHEMISTRY /
APPLIED CHEMISTRY
Student will study subjects such as the chemical
industry, process design, health and safety,
biochemistry, biomaterials, inorganic materials and
polymer synthesis. The innovative and relevant nature
of this program will also help you to discover new and
exciting areas of chemistry, including
bio-compatibility, medicinal drug delivery systems,
the Buckminster-Fullerenes and cluster compounds,
liquid crystals, nonmetallic conductors and
superconductors.
Subject Guide This program covers Inorganic Chemistry;
Organic Chemistry; Physical Chemistry; Thermodynamics;
Mathematics; Chemical; Processes and Process Design;
Transferable Skills, Polymer Science; Bioscience;
Spectroscopy; Practical Classes, and other options.
Career Prospects
Student’s broad grounding principles of chemistry will
prepare student to enter research, development or
production in the chemical process industries, or to
undertake postgraduate research, leading to a PhD, or
teaching or postgraduate teaching certificates.
Alternatively student may pursue a highly successful
career in areas as diverse as commerce,
administration, accounting, banking or the Civil
Service. The study of chemistry is a springboard to
student's future, whether or not student enter a
directly related career, and is a highly stimulating
and rewarding choice.
