Certificate in Science in Chemistry

University of Canterbury

If you want to study science at university level without having to commit to a full-time degree, you might consider the Certificate in Science (CertSc). It is also an option if you want to take a few courses for interest, or study part-time. Study Involve: Choose from a range of subjects that suit your specific science interests ranging from Astronomy, to Environmental Science, Medicinal Chemistry, and Psychology. Complete a minimum of 60 points of courses at 100 and/or 200-level from Bachelor of Science subjects. This Certificate can be completed within one semester full-time, or part time for up to 6 years. Courses can be transferred to some degrees and is a great pathway to the Bachelor of Science. Chemistry deals with the composition, structure, and behaviour of atoms and molecules that make up all forms of matter. Understanding the world at an atomic level helps us see how things are interconnected and work together. Study Involve: Apply your learning in the lab and research projects in diverse areas of chemistry - physical, biological, environmental, theoretical, and more. Study Chemistry as a minor within many bachelor’s degree options to add a scientific background to your other subjects.
