The curriculum meets American Chemical Society (ACS) guidelines ensuring that our students are qualified to be professional chemists or to enter graduate school in the chemical sciences.

The programme begins with the fundamentals of modern chemistry, including organic and biological chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and forensic science. Students go on to study advanced and industrially-relevant topics including organometallic chemistry, spectroscopy, green chemistry, and drug design. In each year of study, students have the opportunity to do a research project to hone their creativity and explore the latest in chemistry research.

Build a strong foundation in modern chemistry while exploring its applications in biology, healthcare and chemical industry. This rigorous programme covers areas such as organic, inorganic, analytical, biological, and computational chemistry, complemented by hands-on laboratory training and research opportunities that prepare graduates for impactful careers in science and innovation.
