    The MSc programme is constituted by one year of lectures followed by end of semester

    examinations, and another year of research ended by submission of a dissertation in any one of
    the five branches: Analytical, Applied, Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry.

    MSc CURRICULUM

    i) The program requires students to enroll full-time


    ii) The duration of the program will be two calendar years or four semesters. Each
    Semester shall consist of 17 weeks of teaching and three weeks of examinations.
    iii) The program will consist of two parts; part I (Course Work) and part II (Research and
    Dissertation).
    iv) Part I of the program will be completed in two semesters and will consists of course
    work with nine courses.
    v) One courses unit shall be equivalent to one contact hour per week per semester. One
    hour of lecturers shall be equivalent to one contact hour, Two hours of practical shall
    be equivalent to one contact hour and one tutorial hour shall be equivalent to one
    contact hour.
    vi) There will be four compulsory courses which shall be completed in the first semester.
    The four courses CHM 7101, CHM 7102, CHM 7103 and CHM 7104 have been
    designed to give candidates a broad background knowledge on relevant topical issues
    in chemistry.
    vii) Five courses shall be completed in the second semester. One compulsory course; and
    four other courses to be selected from any of the given areas in consultation with the
    supervisor(s), with at least three of the four from the area of specialization.
    viii) In part II of the program, candidates will undertake individual research projects in
    their areas of specialization which will form the subject of a concise dissertation.
    ix) The areas of specialization are:

    Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical/Environmental Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical


    Chemistry,
    Applied Chemistry

    COURSE WORK (PART I)

    First Semester

    COMPULSORY COURSES

    Every candidate will be required to do the following courses in the first semester:

    Code Course title Lecture hours Practical Course Units


    hours
    CHM 7101 Research methodology 30 0 2

    CHM 7102 Instrumentation 30 30 3

    CHM 7104 Laboratory 30 0 2


    management and
    quality assurance

    b) Second Semester

    In the second semester, every candidate will be required to take five courses from the list given
    under the five (II-VI) specialized areas of research below:

    i) There will be one compulsory course selected from among courses in section I
    below. A student will be required to select a course depending on his/her intended
    area of specialization. The selected course within this section is anticipated to
    update the student on recent developments within the area of specialization as
    he/she intends to develop a research topic. This will mainly be a self reading
    course with occasional consultation of the lectures concerned and the students
    will be expected to present in monthly seminars as part of the progressive
    assessment.

    ii) At least three courses must be drawn from one area of specialization (sections II,
    III, IV, V and VI) and where necessary the fourth course will be a related course
    selected from other areas. The table below gives the areas of specialization and
    the courses in each area.
