Our second year courses build on the fundamentals covered in first year. The courses are generally structured around the four pillars of chemistry: physical, analytical, organic and inorganic chemistry.

CHEM2041 (Analytical) is a prerequisite for all other second year chemistry courses.

CHEM2041 is offered in T1 and T3.

Depending on your program, you may have some flexibility in which Chemistry courses you choose. Have a look through each course listed below, and check with your program requirements to decide which is the most suitable for you.
