There is a compulsory component of the program that includes basic courses in chemistry, mathematics, physics, life-sciences, humanities and social sciences. The rest of the courses are electives in Chemistry and other departments. Interested students can also take up research projects as part of their curriculum. The students in the program have the option of spending an additional year to earn a Masters degree.
