The BS Chemistry Programme is a four-year degree designed to provide students with strong theoretical knowledge as well as practical competency in various branches of chemistry.
Programme Structure
Years 1 & 2
During the first two years, students study foundational courses in:
- Core chemistry
- Basic sciences
- Social sciences
These courses follow the curriculum guidelines set by the Higher Education Commission (HEC).
Year 3
From the third year onward, students take advanced courses that build their professional and analytical skills, including:
- Separation techniques
- Spectroscopy
- Natural products
- Unit processes
- Industrial stoichiometry
- Nuclear chemistry
- Radiation chemistry
Year 4
In the final year, students:
- Select four elective courses based on their preferred area of specialization
- Complete a final-year project relevant to their chosen field
Practical Training & Industry Exposure
Alongside classroom lectures, the programme emphasizes hands-on learning through laboratory work, experimental activities, and the final-year research project.
Internships
Mandatory internships are arranged for BS Chemistry students, providing real-world exposure in reputable national and multinational organizations such as:
- Archroma
- Siddique Sons
- PCSIR
- Abbott
- Capco
- Novatax
- Pak Oasis
- Gul Ahmed
- Soorty
- Macter Pharma and others.
- Industrial & Research Visits
Every year, students visit at least one industrial or research facility to observe professional procedures, understand industrial workflows, and strengthen their practical understanding of chemistry-related operations.
