Industrial Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that applies physical and chemical processes towards the transformation of raw materials into products that are of benefit to humanity.
This Bachelor in Industrial Chemistry degree program will give you adequate skills required for the transformation of matter into useful materials in useful amounts. Usually, this transformation of available materials into more desirable ones involves some kind of process following a recipe. In turn, the process may involve grinding, mixing together various ingredients, dissolving, heating, allowing ingredients to interact (chemically or biochemically react forming new compositions of matter), cooling, evaporating or distilling, growing crystals, filtering, and other physical-chemical-biological operations.
At the end of the course, the BSc Industrial Chemistry graduates will:
The goal of the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Chemistry degree program is to produce graduates who will be highly skilled in transformation of matter into useful materials through industrial processes. The Industrial Chemistry graduate is a chemist with knowledge linkages in engineering, chemical processing, economics and industrial management.
