We also offer the Bachelor of Science (Degree with Honours), a one-year program for students who have achieved academic excellence and wish to build upon their undergraduate degree. It is a pathway to further studies in graduate research such as a PhD.

Elective subjects

If you're studying an undergraduate course other than the Bachelor of Science, you can still dip into chemistry by studying Breadth subjects (as long as you meet any prerequisites).
