The Department of Chemistry

(93 credits)

LEVEL I REQUIREMENTS:

• In addition to the Level I Chemistry courses (12 credits), students pursuing the BSc in Chemistry will require passes in MATH 1115 and MATH 1125 or equivalent. Students with passes in CAPE Pure Mathematics (Units I and II) or N1 Mathematics (MATH 0100 and MATH 0200) or GCE A’level Mathematics may apply for EXEMPTIONS WITHOUT CREDITS from MATH 1115 and MATH 1125. Where EXEMPTIONS WITHOUT CREDITS are granted, students must pursue alternative courses as approved by the Head of Department. Application Forms to request the exemptions are available at the Student Administration Building.

• Note carefully: Students reading MATH 1115 and MATH 1125 (3 credits each) will be required to complete any other two (2) Level I Faculty courses (at least 3 credits each) in order to fulfil the minimum Level I requirements of 24 credits. Students with CAPE Pure Mathematics (Units I and II) or equivalent who have been granted EXEMPTIONS WITHOUT CREDITS for MATH 1115 and MATH 1125 will be required to complete any other four (4) Faculty courses (at least 3 credits each) to fulfil the minimum Level I requirement of 24 credits.

LEVEL II AND LEVEL III REQUIREMENTS:

• At Level II students registered for the BSc Chemistry will complete the courses required for a major in Chemistry and at Level III will pursue eighteen (18) credits of required advanced core courses in Chemistry and a further twelve credits of approved electives thus completing a total of sixty (60) credits of advanced courses. The full programme is outlined below.
• You are required to do a Yearlong Research Project 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 assign a supervisor.

NOTE: *At least two (2) of the four (4) Electives must be from Chemistry. For those courses outside the Faculty of Science and Technology, students must seek approval from the Head of Department.
