BUSE Bachelor Of Science Honours Degree In Chemical Technology Degree
Programme Overview
The Bachelor of Science Honours Degree in Chemical Technology is a four year programme. The programme consists of taught courses, a research project and an industrial attachment. Taught courses cover broader areas of basic and applied chemistry. The basic courses are general chemistry, analytical inorganic, organic and physical and polymer chemistry.
After having acquired a deeper theoretical understanding of chemistry, they are exposed to such applied areas of chemistry as plastic technology, medicinal, agro-chemistry, fermentation technology, pharmaceutical technology, materials chemistry, industrial chemistry and mineral processing. With this degree programme, graduates are well equipped with deeper theoretical understanding of the most important aspects of chemistry. They can easily pursue further studies in chemistry at any university.
The applied component of the degree programme enables the graduate to acquit him/herself in such sectors of the economy as chemical, pharmaceutical, mining, food and beverages manufacturing and public sector institutions. The industrial attachment component enables the graduate to adapt to any manufacturing environment and analytical laboratories
