BSc in BTS programme
1. Aims
The BSc in BTS programme offers two concentrations of study:
This programme aims:
- Biomedical Chemistry (BMC)
- Testing and Certification (T&C)
This programme aims:
- To provide students with a strong foundation in all principal areas of chemical sciences;
- To equip students with ample knowledge and skills in (applied) chemistry and biochemistry, solving real-world scientific problems especially in biomedicine and (bio)chemical testing;
- To develop students’ analytical mind, logical and critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, which are the essential generic capabilities in employment and postgraduate study.
