Curricula
The curricula for the undergraduate degree programmes offered by the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Biotechnology (CCEB), including those for earlier matriculation years, are listed below.
Chemistry and Biological Chemistry
There are 3 (three) tracks in Chemistry Programme offered from AY21 (U21 cohort onwards), except for BSc in Chemistry and Biological Chemistry with 2nd Major in Entrepreneurship (CHET), which has 2 (two) tracks only - PI and PI+FYP.
Students are automatically registered under the default track upon admission. The default track applies for ALL programmes in each admission year unless otherwise stated, are shown as follows:
Cohort U21: | Professional Attachment and Final Year Project (PA+FYP) |
Cohort U22 & U23: | Professional Internship (PI) |
Cohort U22 (CHDA) & U23 (CHDA): | Professional Attachment and Final Year Project (PA+FYP) |
Cohort U24 onwards: | Professional Internship and Final Year Project (PI +FYP) |
AU requirements for the 3 different options vary. Please refer to the following curriculum and study plans for all 3 study options.
Chemistry Programme students between their 4th semester (Year 2 Semester 2) to 6th semester (Year 3 Semester 2) are allowed to put up a request to change their graduation requirement. An email will be triggered in Week 7-8 of each semester for eligible students.
This change is allowed only ONCE throughout the entire candidature. Students are advised to make the decision only after checking their curriculum plan and the current academic standing. Any subsequent request for a change in graduation requirement will NOT be entertained since it may have serious consequence on on-time graduation. Students who intend to complete their graduation requirement with their default option stated in their degree audit need not submit the request.
Important Note: These Year-3 courses: CM3011, CM3021, CM3031 and CM3041 are offered in both Semester 1 and Semester 2)

Double Counting Policy for Second Major Programmes
For students in the ICC curriculum (admitted to Year 1 from AY2021 and Year 2 from AY2022), the AU requirement reflected in the students’ degree audit is based on the assumption that students select the maximum number of common courses that could be used to fulfil two requirements concurrently.
Students who do not select the maximum number of common courses will have to inform their Home School so that the AU requirement in their degree audit could be updated and they could therefore register for the remaining courses for their second major.

Transitional Arrangement for Year 1 Chemistry Courses
CM1021, CM1031, CM1041, and CM1051 will no longer be offered starting from Semester 1 of AY2022/23. Students who have not cleared the course(s) will take the replacement course CM1001 (4 AU) and/or CM1002 (4 AU) respectively. AU requirements will be adjusted accordingly, where applicable. See the table below for details.
