The Bachelors Degree in Chemistry is awarded to students who have successfully completed all courses in the curriculum, including 20 working days apprenticeship (course of instruction) period. Chemistry degree program is designed to provide the students the fundamentals of chemistry. The first year courses mainly consist of general chemistry, mathematics, and physics to bring the knowledge levels of students from different background to the same level. The compulsory courses offered in further years include analytical, bio-, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. These courses also include laboratory studies to provide technical skills necessary to enter their career as chemists. It was mainly aimed to give the students an analytical approach for solving any problem and handling complex information as well as the laboratory experience. Third and fourth year of curriculum include elective courses especially designed to developed the intelligent approach of the students to the problems of industry. |
