Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

Chemistry is the branch of natural sciences that studies matter, its composition, properties and reactions.  It includes the “study, analysis, modification and calculation of physico-chemical or biochemical properties of matter.  It is a broad field, which overlaps with other fields.

The core disciplines of chemistry are organic, inorganic, analytical, physical chemistry and biochemistry. 

Chemistry is the foundation science for many industrial and agricultural processes that produce useful products that contribute to the quality of life.  It impacts on human health – producing materials, developing methods and advancing knowledge towards improved health care, enhanced public health and safety, safe and affordable food supply, and a sustained wholesome environment.  It is indeed a science of numerous opportunities.
