1. About the M.Sc. in Chemistry by Coursework

This programme is designed for students with either a 4-year Honours degree, or a 3-year degree with 2 years of working experience who would like to pursue a graduate degree in Chemistry. It is expected that the graduates of this programme will be well-equipped to secure senior industrial positions, or apply for advanced degree programmes (e.g. Ph.D.).

At the end of the course, the student will be equipped with up-to-date knowledge and skills that will enable him/her to execute and lead with confidence and perform leading roles as R&D scientists, managers and entrepreneurs in the practice of complex chemical processes.

In order to cater to Singapore's growing need for skilled manpower in chemicals, electronics and biomedical industries, there are 4 areas of concentration available for students to choose from:

1. Analytical Chemistry
2. Synthetic Chemistry
3. Materials Chemistry
4. Medicinal Chemistry

To fulfill the requirements for each area of concentration, students are required to read at least 3 modules from 1 of the 4 Level 5000 subject groups (Analytical, Synthetic, Materials or Medicinal).

Note:

CM5201 is a common module for both Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry concentrations.

The Department reserves the right to vary or cancel any of the modules described above or alter the composition of the areas of concentration should circumstances so require.
