Chemistry – Learning Outcomes
By the end of the Chemistry course, students will be able to:
Understand the structure of matter including atoms, molecules, elements, and compounds.
Explain chemical reactions and the laws governing the transformation of substances.
Conduct scientific experiments safely and accurately using standard laboratory techniques.
Apply chemistry knowledge to real-life situations such as health, agriculture, industry, and environmental conservation.
Interpret and analyze data using scientific methods to draw conclusions and solve problems.
Communicate scientific information clearly through written reports, presentations, and discussions.
Prepare for further studies in science-based fields such as medicine, engineering, pharmacy, environmental science, and research.
Chemistry – Entry Requirements
To successfully pursue Chemistry, students are expected to meet the following minimum requirements:
Strong foundation in Science – A good background in Physics, Biology, and especially Mathematics from previous levels.
Pass in relevant subjects – At least a C grade or higher in Chemistry and Mathematics at O-Level (or equivalent).
Curiosity and interest in experiments – Chemistry involves practical laboratory work, so interest in experimentation and safety awareness is essential.
Critical thinking and problem-solving skills – Ability to observe, analyze, and apply scientific principles logically.
Basic English proficiency – Since most of the scientific terms and materials are in English, comprehension is important.
Chemistry is the branch of science that studies the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter. It explores how substances interact, combine, and transform to form new materials. Through chemistry, students gain a deep understanding of the building blocks of life — atoms, molecules, and elements — and how they shape the world around us.
This subject equips learners with essential skills in observation, analysis, and experimentation. From understanding chemical reactions to exploring real-world applications in medicine, agriculture, energy, and industry, chemistry plays a crucial role in solving modern challenges.
Chemistry is ideal for students interested in science, innovation, and practical problem-solving. It also lays the foundation for careers in medicine, engineering, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and research.
