See General Rules for Doctoral degrees. A thesis on an approved topic, a seminar
and an oral examination, are basic requirements.

This is a one-year qualification for full-time students and a two-year qualification for
part-time students. Before registering, a part-time student must undertake to meet
the time tabling restrictions of the Department.
The qualification consists of four theory modules and a research module:
4CHM501 – Analytical Chemistry

  • 4CHM502 – Inorganic Chemistry
  • 4CHM503 – Organic Chemistry
  • 4CHM504 – Physical Chemistry
  • 4CHM509 – Research Project

A student may elect to substitute any one of the four theory modules with a relevant
honours level module from another Department provided that the approval of both
heads of Department is obtained. Students will be assigned to a research project
within the on-going research work in the Department. This project will run continuously
throughout the year and students may be required to give a seminar on their project.
A student’s results for the theory modules may be withheld by the Department until the
research project and the project report have been satisfactorily completed and two
bound copies of the report have been submitted.
