Seminar requirements

One advanced seminar, as detailed above.

1

Students are exempt from this course if they began their studies before Fall 2007 and took General Chemistry (20437) prior to Fall 2008 or have an approved program of studies that includes General Chemistry (20437).

2

Students who are exempt from this course may take it as an elective or take 2 additional credits in elective courses in Chemistry.

3

For students who took Chemistry in Action (20301), which is no longer offered, the course counts as an elective in Chemistry.

4

Students who began their studies before Fall 2012 can choose to take this course or Atoms, Molecules and the Properties of Matter (20201).

5

The course will be offered for the last time in Spring 2014.

General Requirements for a dual-disciplinary degree

Fulfilling all requirements as detailed here.

  • Accumulating credits required for the degree

  • Fulfilling all requirements in both disciplines

  • English language proficiency

  • Bibliographic instruction

Before enrolling in any course, students must ensure that they have taken all the prerequisites for it, even when the prerequisites are not included among the courses listed above.

Degrees awarded when combining two fields

When combining Chemistry with any field in the Sciences, the degree awarded is a B.Sc.

When combining Chemistry with any field in the Humanities or the Social Sciences, the degree awarded is a B.A.

General note regarding combining two fields

When combining fields in a dual-disciplinary program, students are required to take the basic studies in both fields. If a course is required in both fields, taking it fulfills the requirements of both. If a course is required in one field and is an elective in the other, it can only be taken as a required course in the relevant field. If a course is an elective in both fields, it will only grant credits in one of the fields.

For specific requirements when combining fields, see the individual combinations of fields (in Hebrew).
