Program Structure

Students are required to complete a program of study totalling 48 UOC made up of compulsory courses, a compulsory project and elective courses. Students who have previously studied compulsory courses or their equivalent may be granted an exemption by the Head of School but the equivalent number of units of credit must be completed by taking other approved courses. The degree will comprise one year of full-time study (normally two sessions of 24 UOC each), or two years of part-time study (normally four sessions of 12 UOC each), and would comprise:
  1. A major strand of related material comprising approximately 75% of the total program, including a project comprising not less than 12.5% nor more than 25% of the program.
  2. A minor strand of broader based material comprising up to 25% of the total program.
  3. Undergraduate material may be included in one or both strands but will not be included in units of credit.
  4. At least 60% of the non-project component must be taken in the School of Chemical Sciences and Engineering unless otherwise approved by the Program Coordinator. The remainder, subject to approval and availability, may be undertaken elsewhere in the University.
