Minor in Analytical Chemistry
Updated
on 27 Feb 2006
Emphasising and exploiting the radial connections
of Chemistry in general and Analytical Chemistry in particular,
with most other Sciences, the Department offers a minor which comprises
modules related to the theory and practical aspects of modern analytical
techniques used widely in the petrochemical, fine chemical, polymer,
pharmaceutical, environmental, electronic and materials industries
as well as research laboratories.
The Analytical Chemistry minor is especially useful
to Biological Sciences, Materials Science and Physics graduates
who will thus be suitably trained in essential aspects of analytical
science. This training will stand such graduates in good stead when
they seek employment, specifically giving them an edge in terms
of employability over their more specialised counterparts.
This minor is not awarded with the Chemistry major,
the Applied Chemistry major, and the Concentration in Economics
and Analytical Chemistry.
To be awarded a minor in Analytical Chemistry,
a student must pass the following modules:
| |
|
Prerequisites |
| CM1101 |
Principles of Modern Chemistry |
'A' level pass in Chemistry or equivalent |
| CM1111 |
Basic Inorganic Chemistry |
'A' level pass in Chemistry or equivalent |
| CM2101 |
Principles of Spectroscopy |
CM1101 or CM1502 |
| CM2142 |
Analytical Chemistry |
CM1101 |
| CM3242 |
Instrumental Analysis II |
CM2142 |
| CM3295 |
Selected Experiments in Analytical Chemistry |
CM1101 and CM2142; not offered to Chemistry
or Applied Chemistry majors |
Please also note that if your major is Materials
Science, CM1101 and CM1111 are essential modules. These modules
cannot be counted twice towards this major and the Minor in Analytical
Chemistry.
Engineering students who have taken CM1502 are required to read and pass CM1101 as well in order to qualify for the Analytical Chemistry Minor. Please contact the department during the CORS period should you have difficult registering for CM1101. |
