International Year One - Undergraduate Pathway - Biomedical Sciences (4-Semester Pathway) Transfer to Bachelor of Arts - Chemistry

International Year One allows students to begin earning credits toward their degree even if they don’t meet the academic and English requirements for direct entry. They will receive additional support to help them succeed and progress to their degree path so they can graduate at the same time as direct entry students.

Chemistry has been defined as the science that studies matter and its transformation. Impinging on nearly every aspect of our material world, it is, by nature, the “central science,” standing between physics and biology. Chemistry is so pervasive in our world that it has become fashionable to ask, “What isn’t chemistry?” The study of chemistry is central to an understanding of the natural world and is the key to success in a variety of careers, not only those in the chemical sciences. Advances in biotechnology, materials science, and engineering have expanded the borders of chemistry. It has never been more important than now that chemistry be studied by all undergraduates to complete a liberal education or to begin a lifelong study.

The chemistry program is intended to satisfy a wide variety of student interests and to provide excellent preparation for graduate study as well as employment at the bachelor’s level. Two courses of study certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS) are among the various options or tracks available.
