Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Analytical and Testing Sciences
Programme Director: Dr LI, Hung Wing
The aims of the four-year full-time undergraduate programme of Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Analytical and Testing Sciences are:
- To provide students with a broad-based training in all major scientific disciplines for supporting their study in analytical science which is multi-disciplinary in nature;
- To provide students with a solid knowledge base and skills in the variety of techniques used to solve a diversity of problems in analytical and testing science;
- To help students to develop an analytical mind and good problem-solving skills needed to solve the diversity of problems encountered in their career as a professional analyst;
- To equip students with a solid knowledge base in science and analytical science to support their career developments and further education in this and related fields.
The structure of the curriculum is as follows:
| I) | Major Courses | 61 - 64 units |
| II) | Project | 3 - 6 units |
| III) | University Core Courses | 13 units |
| IV) | General Education Courses | 18 units |
| V) | Free Electives# | 30 units |
| 128 units |
# Students may take additional GE courses (of Level 1 or 2) in any categories to fulfil the “Free Electives” requirement but only a maximum of 6 units will be counted towards the fulfilment of the “Free Electives” requirement.
