The Environmental Chemistry comprises 24 credits of specialized courses and 6 credits of approved environment-related electives and is supported by 18 credits of critical General and Analytical Chemistry prerequisite courses. The prerequisites cover the fundamental concepts on which characteristics of the environment and its natural reactions are based. The required courses address the treatment and management of water resources, the principles and characteristics of aquatic and marine environments and detail key reactions and processes that occur in the atmosphere. Approaches to modeling aspects of the environment are presented and strategies that promote environmental sustainability are introduced. The programme requirements and structure are as tabulated Semester I Semester II YEAR I : 21 compulsory credits CHEM1901 Introductory Chemistry A CHEM1902 Introductory Chemistry B – – (6 credits) (6 credits) MATH - 6 credits from any Level 1 FOUN1014 - Critical Reading and Writing Mathematics courses (taken in Semester 1 in Science and Technology and Medical and/or Semester 2).
