Our students receive close interaction and guidance from qualified staff through advising. Our programme revolves around training new scientists for leadership positions in industry, government and academia. Sound laboratory and industrial experiences and training in research projects are all integral parts of our curricula in this natural sciences programme at all levels.
Graduates of any of our programmes will be able to qualify for employment in the following areas: teaching/lecturing, formulation, analysis and testing, consulting, research and development, environmental analyses, forensics, production and industrial quality control, management, technical sales, chemical sales or instrumentation sales and service, entrepreneurship, etc. They will able to find employment in private and government institutions such as laboratories, manufacturing, universities and colleges, biotech firms, food processing firms, pharmaceutical companies, agricultural, and environmentally-oriented organisations.
