Program Structure

The program structure below gives one sequence of courses that fulfils the requirements of the degree. The timing of the general education courses and elective courses may be modified to optimize the student's choice of courses. Students will have the option of choosing up to 18 UOC of professional electives in year 4 if first year electives are chosen to satisfy core Industrial Chemistry requirements shown in subsequent years. Recommended enrolment plans consistent with timetabling and availability can be found on the school website. While some courses are given twice a year, many courses are given only once a year. In addition, courses may have prerequisites and exclusions. Thus students should plan their enrolments carefully.
