The Institute of Chemistry Ceylon is offering both the Bachelor of Science Honors (BSc Hons) degree in Chemical Science and the Graduateship in Chemistry Programme (GIC) beginning with the 2021 enrollment, a press release from the Institute said.

It said: The BSc Hons degree in Chemical Science is a four-year full-time programme designed as per the Sri Lanka Quality Framework (SLQF) Level 6 to provide a comprehensive education in Chemistry to all our undergraduates. The main objectives of this degree programme are to bring economic benefits and sustainable development to the country through manufacturing and value addition and to contribute to global research in chemical science.

In addition to the BSc Hons, the Institute of Chemistry Ceylon will continue to offer the GIC as well. For nearly 50 years, the Institute has been acclaimed for the GIC, which is a four-year professional qualification. It was formally accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), the UK, in 2012 and was the first course in South Asia and second in the Asian region to receive RSC accreditation. In 1986, the GIC programme of CCS was accepted by the Government of Sri Lanka as an alternative qualification to a Degree in Science, with Chemistry as a subject, awarded by a recognized University.The multitude of industry-oriented courses offered makes the GIC programme a professional qualification. Students are given hands-on experience in practical components during the first three years of the degree.

If you have what it takes to realize your passion for becoming a scientist, please join us on Sunday, December 20, 2020, at 9:00 AM for our virtual open day.
