1.0 BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE1.1 General InformationThe Bachelor of Applied Science programme with Honours is offered by the School ofPure Sciences (Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics) to increase the intake ofApplied Science students as well as to instill the aspects of Applied Science in the offeredcourses.In line with the government’s aspiration and emphasis to expand heavy industries and thetransfer of technology, a strong training in all fields of applied science and industrialtechnology is needed. Due to increasing demand, a Bachelor of Applied Scienceprogramme is offered by the School of Pure Sciences to produce graduates who are capableof carrying out research and development works in industries. All efforts are carried out tofulfil and to provide manpower needs at the degree level in all fields of applied science andindustrial technology.1.2 Areas of SpecializationType of CourseApplied PhysicsEngineering PhysicsMedical c BiologyEnvironmental BiologyBiotechnologyAgrobiologyEntomology and ParasitologyPhysicsBiological SciencesBiological SciencesBiological SciencesBiological SciencesBiological SciencesAnalytical ChemistryIndustrial ChemistryApplied StatisticsOperations ResearchMathematical ModellingMathematics and EconomicsChemical SciencesChemical SciencesMathematical SciencesMathematical SciencesMathematical SciencesMathematical Sciences4
1.3 Programme StructureStudents from the School of Physics, Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, andMathematical Sciences can choose a Major-Minor or a Major-Elective specializationprograms. Both specialization programs require a specific minimum credit units forgraduation, to be accumulated in the duration of 8 – 14 semesters. Courses are divided intoseveral parts as follows:Type of CourseBasicCoreMinorElectiveUniversityCode TypeTMEU1.4 Courses OfferingStudents are required to register for the undergraduate courses in two semesters, that isSemester 1 and Semester 2.
