Master of Science in Chemistry

The M.Sc. in Chemistry is a 30 CH’s program that is offered both full and part time within the Department of Chemistry. Students are required to complete 24 credit hours of coursework in addition to 6 credit hours assigned to research and a completion of a M.Sc. thesis. In addition to 2 CH of college requirements, the coursework includes 5 compulsory courses in chemistry, namely 2 supportive courses (4 CH) and 3 core chemistry courses (9 CH), and 3 elective courses (9 CH), that allow the student to specialize in any specific topic related chemistry. Student progress is overseen by a research supervisor (and co-supervisors) and a thesis defense committee. The program is a fee-based program open for all students who meet the entry requirements.

Program Objectives

• To provide students with in-depth knowledge of advanced topics in their chosen sub-discipline of chemistry.
• To graduate students with the skills necessary to carry out independent research.
• To develop students' communication and team-work skills.
• To produce graduates who are well prepared for the workplace or further studies (Ph.D.) in chemistry.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

• Solve complex problems in chemical applications.
• Use modern methods to carry out research and solve real life problems.
• Properly document and present the results of research work.
• Work effectively in teams and manage group tasks.
