B.Sc. Industrial Chemistry
This programme seeks to expose students to broad areas of the theories and practice of the fundamental aspects of all branches of Chemistry. Modern Society requires an all-round individual as a result of increasing interdependency of the sciences. The Department therefore aims to offer a thorough grounding in theoretical, experimental and operational aspects of Chemistry, as it relates to the Chemical Industry. This will enable Nigeria and Africa to have a new breed of well-trained high-level manpower that can apply the principles of Chemistry to national and international development.
Industrial Chemistry Students should:
- Provide students with scientific knowledge and skills from which they can proceed to further studies in specialized and/or multi- disciplinary areas.
- Develop in students the ability to apply scientific knowledge and skills to solving theoretical and practical problems.
- Develop in students, a range of transferable skills that are of value in any employment and society they might find themselves.
- Provide, through training and orientation, an appreciation of the rewards inherent in inter-and multi- disciplinary approach to the solution of complex life problems, and
The objective of Industrial Chemistry is to develop:
- Provide students with a thorough grounding in principles and sound knowledge of scientific methods of the chemical sciences.
- Arouse a sense of curiosity and enquiring mind, in order to encourage and develop creative thinking and research aptitudes.
- Generate in students an awareness of the enormous resources in their immediate environment so as to enhance solutions to the challenges of our time in a march towards nation building.
- Educate and train chemists, particularly applied chemists, who can think fundamentally about their subject and who can acquire as graduates, a meaningful picture of the chemical industry.
