Chemistry

Programme Aims:

• To provide students with a strong foundation in all principal areas of chemical science.

• To provide students with knowledge in developing career and solving real-life chemical problems, including those in the environmental area, and to meet the needs from government, education, industrial or commercial sectors.

We offer two study paths with different focuses leading towards a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry:

• Chemistry - Environmental Studies Concentration
• Chemistry - No (specific) Concentration

Students who are interested in environment-related chemical problems may choose to pursue the Environmental Studies Concentration. Others who wish to focus on Pure and Applied Chemistry may choose to pursue a study path with No specific concentration. In the first three years of study, the two groups of students will take similar core courses to build up their basic knowledge in various chemistry fields. In the final year, students in Environmental Studies Concentration will take environment-related interdisciplinary courses while students with No Concentration can choose a wide variety of advanced chemistry courses as their Major elective courses.
