^ Online courses
BS3028 Chemical Biology is compulsory for students with 2nd major in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology (BSMCP)
# Major PE which is conducted during the 1-week term break or during the 2 weeks before the term starts.
BS2011^ offers by period and in both semester 1 and 2.
# UAEB Workshop which is conducted during the 1-week term break or before the term starts.
^^ BS1101 and BS2103 are considered as ONE Major PE.
++ Recommended Major PE which is conducted during the inter-semestral break. Completion of BS2901 will allow you to do one less Major PE in any of the future semesters. Registration of BS2901 will be done by the School. It is a pass/fail course.
