Course details
Bachelor of Applied Science
To qualify for a degree, a student must complete successfully
one of the followirig courses:
1. double maior in a ~~lied chemistrv
2. biochemisky combined with che~nistr~
3. biophysics combined with instrumental science
4. computer science combined with instrumental science
5. mathematics combined with computer science
6. environmental health
The structures of courses 1 to 6 are described below. Combination
of the single major chemistry with instrumental science,
computer science or mathematics are also offered on an
individual basis, subject in each case to the approval of the
Faculty Board.
All the degree courses may be studied on a part-time basis. The
availability of evening classes depends on student demand.
Details of part-time programs are available from the Faculty
Secretary and from the heads of the teaching departments.
New course structures which are four-year programs in the
cooperative format are introduced in 1986 (1986 syllabus).
Successful full-time students who commenced one of the
courses prior to 1986 continue to study the 1983 syllabus. Both
course structures are set out below.
1. Double major in Applied Chemistry
This course provides a thorough basis for a career as a
professional, industrial or research chemist. It features a range
of industrial topics which support and extend the main themes
of chemistry while amplifying the students' industrial experi-
ence.

Part-time course
The course is also available for part-time study structured in
such a way as to enable completion in six or more years.
Part-time students must undertake at least eight hours of class
time per week.
Part-time students must also acquire two semesters of relevant
work experience. The Institute does not arrange for work
experience for part-time students.
2. Biochemistry/Chemistry
This course involves the study of the structure and function of
the chemical systems of living organisms and the application of
this knowledge in the areas of clinical chemistry, pharmaceuti-
cal chemistry, the food industry, and other fields. The course
