Rationale for the inclusion of the course/module in the program

Chemistry enables the students to develop an understanding of the properties of different materials and to transform these materials into new and useful substances. Studying chemistry will help develop skills of numeracy, problem solving, and communication. As so, chemistry provides excellent training for a wide range of careers including marketing and project management, environmental science and forensic science. Every semester Core Pre-University
