Graduate Programme in Chemistry
For both the M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes, a student is expected to combine a thesis embodying the results of some original research with course work. A major field of study should be chosen from the following areas: analytical, inorganic, organic (including biochemistry) and physical chemistry. Course work will be appropriate to the area selected and a research director should be chosen from members of the department who are presently engaged in various fields of endeavour as listed.
