M.Sc. (Chemistry)
Master of Science in Chemistry

Duration:	2 Years
Level:	Post Graduation
Type:	Degree
Eligibility:	Graduation

M.Sc. Chemistry or Master of Science in Chemistry is a postgraduate Chemistry course. Chemistry is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. The science of matter is also addressed by physics, but while physics takes a more general and fundamental approach, chemistry is more specialized, being concerned with the composition, behaviour, structure, and properties of matter, as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions. The Master of Science degree in Chemistry is offered on a part-time basis as well. The minimum duration is two years and that of maximum is four years. M.Sc. Chemistry syllabus is divided into four semesters and the nature of the course career orienting in nature that opens a lot of career scopes for them after its completion.
