CURRICULUM PLANNING FOR CHEMISTRY

Our Undergraduate Information Booklet

contains valuable information and a timetable

you can use to help you with curriculum

planning.

• The BSc degree is flexible and provides students with an

opportunity to structure or ‘design’ their own curriculum.

• Courses may run for a year or for only part of a year. Every

course has a credit value and a certain number of credits

are needed in order to complete the programme.

• Start by considering which field of study interests you and

which courses you want to do. Then check to see what

constraints are in place eg, are you required to have passed

a pre-requisite course, do your courses clash on the time

table etc)

CREDIT STRUCTURE

CREDIT SYSTEM

The BSc curriculum is based on a credit system. Each course

carries a number of credits, defined both by level and

duration. You are required to complete 432 credits of which

144 credits must be achieved from level III and 144 credits on

level II. A minimum of 72 credits from level III must be derived

from an approved Science major course offered in the Faculty

Science.

The credits are structured as follow:

Level I = 36 credits

Level II = 48 credits

Level III = 72 credits

Combination of courses:

4 x level I courses = 144 credits

3 x level II courses = 144 credits

2 x level III courses = 144 credits

TOTAL = 432 credits 23
