(30 credits)

Please note that a major in Industrial Chemistry can only be pursued in conjunction with a major in Chemistry.

Students would need to complete an application form in Semester 1. This form can be accessed online via the link https://sta.uwi.edu/fst/chemistry/documents.

PLUS two (2) Level II/III electives from Chemistry or approved courses from outside of Chemistry (Total of 6 credits)

The Department recommends that students read CHEM 3578 (Energy for a Sustainable Future) as one of the approved courses which will complement the Major in Industrial Chemistry. PLEASE NOTE also, that if students intend on pursuing any of the two Advanced FST courses offered in Summer: Business of Science or History of Science as an approved elective, the Business of Science would be the preferred course to complement the Industrial Chemistry Major.

Research Project: Those reading for the Major in Industrial Chemistry are required to do a Research Project (Industrial Internship) and should complete an application form, available in the Chemistry General Office. This application should be made at least at the end of the academic year preceding the one in which you intend to pursue the Research Project which will allow time for the Department to make suitable preparations. It is recommended that Industrial Majors register for their research project in their final year.

NB: Students pursuing joint majors in Industrial Chemistry and Chemistry must read only one research project - CHEM 3671 and one (1) approved chemistry elective to complete the Major in Chemistry. It is recommended that CHEM 3573 (Contemporary Chemistry) – be used as the replacement course for CHEM 3670.
