Hiiee,

B.Sc Chemistry is a three year undergraduate which gives students an in-depth knowledge on the chemical sciences. A student who has completed a B.Sc programme in Chemistry can work in various industries such as food products, pharmaceuticals, drugs manufacturing industries, etc. Further, if a candidate wants to pursue higher studies, an M.Sc programme with some specialization in some specific field will help in gaining more advanced technical knowledge and practical skills. There are many post graduate diploma programmes available for a chemistry graduate. I.e, Post Graduate Diploma in Chemical Technology, Post Graduate Diploma in Analytical Chemistry, etc.

Hello dear student! .

Bachelor's in chemistry is quite nice option for graduation. For further in future, you can opt for various options . If you want to continue in academics, then you can go for masters in chemistry and can also go for PhD for any speciation. Apart from this, you can also pursue MBA if you have interest in management and business.

Hope this will help you

All the best!

After graduating, one can also opt for postgraduate studies to get a sturdy hold of their chemical passion such as Masters in Chemistry.

Job Opportunities to pursue after B.Sc Chemistry



Most of the industries nowadays use the chemicals in everything directly or indirectly like in food products, pharmaceuticals, electronic products or in construction. This creates opportunities for the talented chemistry graduates, since they have the in-depth knowledge about various chemicals, compositions and their properties. The government laboratories, universities or colleges and the industries, mainly chemical and pharmaceutical, are the three major sectors which recruit the chemistry graduates. For the entry level jobs in these fields, graduates need at least a bachelors degree in chemistry. But for the senior positions like in research, they need PhD in the same. Other career choices for them lie in the oil, gas and power sectors.



All the best!!
