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 (6 credits) MATH - 6 credits from any Level 1 Mathematics courses (taken in Semester 1 and/or Semester 2).

There are 14 credits of defined prerequisite courses (CHEM2010, CHEM2011, CHEM2110, CHEM2210, CHEM2310); an additional 4 credits from Level II laboratory electives (CHEM2111, CHEM2211 or CHEM2311) are also required. Courses (Chemistry and other subjects) suitable as Electives for the Environmental Chemistry Major
Programme Summary/Overview: The Food Chemistry minor explores the chemistry and functionality of food components and seeks to demonstrate how food properties may be manipulated or controlled in the processing, production and storage of food products. In addition, it examines the contribution of the food components to nutrition and health. Students completing this programme will be equipped to make positive contributions to the advancement of the Food Processing Industries and in the areas of food analysis and research. Programme Rationale: Food science, multidisciplinary in nature, demonstrates the integration of disciplines necessary to convert food from farm to table. The food chemistry minor is intended to complement majors in other scientific disciplines and exposes students to the applied science of food affording them the opportunity to become a valued team member in the food-related sector. Programme Structure and Content: This programme consists of 16 Advanced Level (II/III) credits. The required Level III courses (9 credits) explore the chemistry of food components while the additional 7 credits may be selected from Level II or Level III courses that cover central areas of organic and physical chemistry, chemical analysis, water treatment, instrumental methods or food safety. The course requirements and structure are as tabulated below: Semester I Semester II At least 16 advanced credits in Chemistry which must include: CHEM3510 – Food Chemistry I (3 Credits) CHEM3511 – Food Chemistry Laboratory (3 Credits) CHEM3512 – Food Chemistry II (3 Credits) and at least 7 credits from: CHEM2010 –Chemical Analysis A (3 Credits) CHEM2011 –Chemical Analysis Laboratory I (2 Credits) CHEM2210 – Organic Chemistry A (3 Credits) CHEM2211 – Organic Chemistry Laboratory I (2 Credits) CHEM2310 – Physical Chemistry A (3 Credits) CHEM2410 – Water Treatment (4 Credits) CHEM2311 – Physical Chemistry Laboratory I (2 Credits) CHEM3010 – Chemical Analysis B (3 Credits) CHEM3011 – Chemical Analysis Laboratory II (2 Credits) CHEM3210 – Organic Chemistry B (3 Credits) CHEM3513 – Food Safety & Quality Assurance (3 Credits)
