Prospective Undergraduate

Overview

The Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry in the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences will offer a Minor in Chemistry and Biological Chemistry starting from July 2005. The minor in Chemistry and Biological Chemistry is offered to all NTU students except students who are majoring in Chemistry and Biological Chemistry. The purpose of this programme is to prepare non-Chemistry and Biological Chemistry major students for a variety of career opportunities related to Chemistry and Biological Chemistry. The programme emphasizes the crucial connections of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry with other sciences. Therefore, it is extremely useful for students majoring in Biological Science, Material Science, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Education, Mathematics and Physics, who want to have some training in the essential aspects of chemical sciences.

Students planning to minor in Chemistry should file a minor application form with SPMS before starting.

Note :

1. Students who have FE1003 or BS102 cannot use CBC111 towards the minor requirement; students with BS103 cannot use CBC113 to the minor as well.
2. Students who have taken FE1003, BS102 or BS103 should contact Gladys Lee for information about CBC pre-requisite waivers.
