Course Aims

This course aims to allow postgraduate students to pursue a defined programme of study directed by an academic staff member in CHEM and/or to attend courses/workshops/study tour in relevant areas recommended by the Department. The course encourages postgraduate students to broaden their vision in scientific research via discovery-based learning and research, to develop their initiative, interests, individual thinking, and have a deeper understanding on a specific area in Chemistry/Biology/Environmental Sciences.

Postgraduate students can obtain 1 credit unit (CHEM8004A) or 2 credit units (CHEM8004B) from the CHEM8004 Directed Studies for Postgraduate Students. The credit units can be obtained from one directed study activity by taking either CHEM8004A or CHEM8004B. The credits units can also be obtained from two directed study activities by taking both CHEM8004A and CHEM8004B separately in different semesters. The maximum number of credit units that can be obtained from CHEM8004 is 3. The nature of the directed study activity, number of credit units gained (1 or 2), and evaluation/assessment pattern will be considered by the Head of CHEM, in consultation with the CHEM8004 Directed Studies Committee, before initiating the Directed Studies. Discovery-based study activities will be highly encouraged.
