Good to know
- Total credits
- 27 credits = 24 compulsory (12 Introductory, Category A + 12 Foundation, Category B) + 3 in-depth elective (Category C)
- Condition
- A Category B course cannot count towards both Major and Minor requirements. For example, Biotechnology students cannot count CHY122 towards the minor, as it is compulsory in their major.
Why pursue this
- Foundational skills in chemical principles, structure, bonding, reactivity and the instrumental methods used to study them.
- Interdisciplinary advantage in materials, energy, environment and the life sciences, where chemical understanding is often the limiting factor.
- Career and higher-study prospects in chemical, pharmaceutical and materials industries, and a base for postgraduate study in chemistry and allied fields.
