GRADUATESHIP PROGRAMME IN CHEMISTRY
The groups of persons who could benefit from the opportunity provided by the holding of Graduateship programmes & examinations conducted by the Institute would include the following:-
(a) Those in middle level employment (eg. technicians), particularly in scientific fields, could use this opportunity to better their promotional or career redirectional prospects. This category would naturally include those who have already followed the DLTC programme in Chemistry. DLTC holders can enroll for the Graduateship program even without A/L qualification
(b) Late developers who can use this opportunity to come back into the main stream of formal education with a view to obtaining professional graduateship qualifications.
(c) Those persons who for economic or other reasons, were unable to avail themselves of the openings they had at the end of their secondary school career to enter the University, now have a subsequent opportunity to make good the loss by obtaining alternate graduate qualifications.
(d) University three year B.Sc Graduates who were unfortunate not to be selected to read for a Special Degree in Chemistry, now have a further opportunity to pursue a professional programmes of a standard equivalent to a special chemistry degree. Such Graduates are exempted from Level 1 & 2 of the Graduateship Examination and Section A Practical Programmes and could therefore complete the Graduateship Programme in two years.
(e) The large numbers of school leavers, who though qualified for university admission, were denied the opportunity due to the very severe competitive nature of admission to Sri Lankan Universities, now have a further chance to pursue an equivalent programme without migrating to foreign climes and at much lower cost.
(f) University graduates who did not follow a degree programmes with chemistry as a subject.(e.g. Medical/ Engineering/ Agriculture graduates) provided that they have satisfied the requirements for enrolling for Level 1 & 2.
