Bachelor’s program

A practical training period is spent in one of the factories or companies related to chemistry for a period of 6 weeks after the end of the third academic year.

• A one-week scientific trip is organized at the beginning of the second semester of the fourth academic year to visit factories, companies and bodies related to chemistry, in addition to one-day trips that are organized for third and fourth year students.

The chemistry program applies the National Academic Reference Standards (NARS)

A bachelor’s degree in chemistry is awarded after passing 4 full academic years distributed over eight semesters. A practical and written exam is held at the end of each semester.

Chemistry Program (credit hour system)

The list of approved hours has been implemented in the college since the academic year 2020/2021.

A bachelor’s degree in chemistry is awarded after passing 136 credit hours of academic courses. The study period for obtaining a bachelor’s degree is four university academic years or when the student completes the number of credit hours required for graduation (136 hours) successfully.

Level 1 (Freshman) from zero to 30 hours.

The second level (Sophomore) from 31 hours to 64 hours.

The third level (Junior) from 65 hours to 100 hours.

The fourth level (Senior) from 101 hours to 136 hours.

This level includes two compulsory semesters separated by a mid-year vacation. An intensive third semester may be offered during the summer period (summer semester) for a period of eight weeks.

The following table shows the distribution of credit hours as graduation requirements for obtaining a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and the number of compulsory and elective hours for each requirement.
