Chemistry Major Curriculum (Applicable to students admitted in 2023-24 and thereafter)
CUHK B.Sc. students (JUPAS code: JS4601) can declare chemistry major through the Science Broad-based Admission Scheme. Students will study chemistry in general areas including analytical, inorganic, organic, physical and theoretical chemistry. Specialised areas including bioinorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry and polymer chemistry will also be covered. Students will be required to take the faculty package as well. Under the 4-year curriculum, CUHK B.Sc. students can choose to declare major in one of the following Chemistry streams:
Chemistry
Chemistry Main Stream is the most flexible stream bearing the least required units in major, in which students can take a wider variety of courses...
Science, Technology and Research Stream
STARS intends to admit top students with strong ability and interest to gain wider exposure and research experience during their undergraduate...
