COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Chemistry and Molecular Biology program is designed to provide students with comprehensive scientific knowledge and practical laboratory skills in chemistry and molecular biology. The course focuses on specialised areas such as drug design, organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and forensic science, helping students develop expertise that is highly valued within the chemical, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. Students gain understanding across major chemistry disciplines, including inorganic, organic, physical, biological, analytical, computational, materials, and macromolecular chemistry. The program also places strong emphasis on laboratory-based learning, allowing students to develop practical skills in chemical synthesis, analytical testing, physical chemistry experiments, and computational chemistry techniques. Through a combination of theoretical study and practical application, students learn how chemistry and molecular biology contribute to pharmaceutical development, medical research, forensic investigations, and scientific innovation. The curriculum is designed to strengthen analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, research capabilities, and scientific communication skills required in professional scientific environments. The program has been specifically developed to support the rapidly growing biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors while preparing students for a wide range of chemistry-related career opportunities. Graduates may pursue careers in research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, healthcare industries, and forensic science organisations. The degree also provides a strong academic foundation for postgraduate study and advanced scientific research in chemistry, molecular biology, and related fields.
