Bachelor Of Science (Hons) In Applied Chemistry

The Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Applied Chemistry programme adopts the multi-mode educational delivery system which emphasizes on student-centred learning, practical-based approach and experiential learning, as individuals or in teams, intended to realize UTP’s seven (7) attributes for well-rounded graduates model. The programme stresses the need for a strong foundation in Basic Chemistry followed by Material and Energy Balance, Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals, Separation Process, Instrumentation & Spectroscopy, Quantum Chemistry, and Surface Science & Catalysis. Students learning experience is also enhanced with the incorporation of the multidisciplinary Science Team Project and also the compulsory 7-month structured Industrial Internship Programme.

In addition to the above, towards the end of their studies, students have the opportunity to major in any of the three specialization areas:

• Petrochemistry
• Sustainable chemistry
• Nanotechnology

Graduates from the Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Applied Chemistry programme will be able to enter into the scientific workforce in the industries, government, academia and R&D sectors. Career opportunities for our graduates are enormous from various industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic as well as other sectors such as government, academia and R&D sectors. These include exciting roles such as Analytical Chemists, Computational Chemists, Quality Control Chemists, Process Engineers, Research Scientists, Entrepreneurs and Academics.
