Check if you qualify

Industrial Chemistry is a degree that applies chemical knowledge to the manufacturing and processing of materials on an industrial scale. If you enjoy laboratory work, problem-solving, and understanding how raw materials become finished products, this programme is worth considering. At C.K. Tedam University of Technology & Applied Sciences, it is offered under the School of Chemical & Biochemical Sciences.

What industrial chemistry actually is

Programmes of this kind typically cover the principles of chemistry and how they are applied to large-scale production. Core areas usually include analytical chemistry, organic and inorganic reactions, thermodynamics, process control, and quality assurance. You learn to operate lab equipment, analyse samples, and understand the steps that turn raw materials into fuels, plastics, food products, pharmaceuticals, and many other goods. Most graduates go on to work in industry, research, or regulatory testing.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other science-based degrees. That means a wider range of applicants who meet the general science, agriculture, or home economics backgrounds from SHS have a realistic chance of being considered. Even so, you should still aim for solid grades, as admission decisions depend on your overall performance. Check the university's admission page or contact their office to see whether your own results qualify.

Which SHS backgrounds are accepted

The School of Chemical & Biochemical Sciences admits students from three SHS backgrounds: General Science, Agriculture, and Home Economics. If you studied any of these, you satisfy the subject-area requirement to apply for this programme. Having taken one of these backgrounds gives you the basic scientific foundation needed to handle the more specialised industrial chemistry coursework.
