When to Study Chemical Kinetics and Related Chemistry Courses

For the 2025 science-oriented curriculum model, this guide explains the recommended timing for Chemical Kinetics and the chemistry subjects that support advanced study.

Build the Chemistry Foundation in the Early Years

Subjects covering major areas of chemistry, including Organic Chemistry I, Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, and Chemical Thermodynamics, need to be studied in the early years. Studying foundational physical chemistry subjects such as Quantum Mechanics I and Chemical Kinetics is also advantageous when taking advanced chemistry courses in later years that build on these areas.

Recommended Second- and Third-Year Chemistry Subjects

For students taking chemistry as a minor course, the listed specialized subjects are Interface Chemistry and Chemical Kinetics in the second year. In the third year, students are to choose subjects of interest from areas including Quantum Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Organic and Polymer Chemistry.
