About the Programme
The programme comprises core theory along with laboratory course as well as one ability enhancement elective (AEEC) and compulsory (AECC) such as Computer Science and Basic/Intermediate English respectively. In addition the programme also focuses on two Generic electives (GE) offered in Chemistry and Mathematics. To prepare students for the research field the programme also offers a research project on an individual basis in final semesters as a discipline-specific elective (DSE) too.
