B.Sc Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of the composition, properties and reactivity of matter. This programme will equip students with an armoury of skills to take into the world of works, including the ability to analyse problems, to work collaboratively as part of a team, and to develop laboratory, numeracy and communication skills. They will also gain appreciation for a subject which links so many – if not all – scientific disciplines through applications and examples, as well as practical works and learning through research.

Goals

Chemistry Students should:

Have firm foundations in the fundamentals and application of current chemical and scientific theories
Be able to design, carry out, record and analyze results of chemical experiments
Have the ability to use modern instrumentation and classical techniques to design experiments and properly record results of their experimental findings
Be skilled in problems solving, critical thinking and analytical reasoning

Objectives

The student will:

Understand the importance of the Periodic Table of the Elements, how it came to be, and its role in organizing chemical information
Get to understand the interdisciplinary nature of chemistry, and to integrate knowledge of mathematics, physics and other disciplines to a wide variety of chemical problems
Learn the laboratory skills needed to design, safely conduct and interpret chemical research
Acquire a foundation of chemistry to a sufficient depth, to enable them understand and critically interpret the primary chemical literature
