Introduction

This programme is aimed to broaden the Chemistry background of students enabling them to prepare and develop themselves to meet country’s future academic and industrial needs Unique Features. This programme is designed keeping it in line with national and international practices as well as market demands. It has been further modified to link it to various industries in Pakistan and across the globe. The graduates produced from this programme will study courses from Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry or Nano Chemistry. The first three years of BS programme will be same for all students where they will be equipped with knowledge of all the disciplines of Chemistry. However, from the seventh semester, students will take courses in specialized areas of chemistry in accordance with their choice. Chemical and Pharmaceutical industry occupies a big market for Chemists in Pakistan. The complete detail of courses and their semester-wise breakup is given below:
