A wonderful opportunity for A/L qualifiers to become a professional chemist

Th e Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, established by the Parliament Act No. 15 of 1972, accepts applications from prospective advanced level qualifiers for its 38th intake for the Graduateship program in Chemistry (GIC) which was initiated in 1979. The GIC is a four year program which is equivalent to a special degree in chemistry offered by any state university in Sri Lanka.

The students who complete the program successfully with honors can proceed to post graduate studies to obtain degrees such as M. Sc, M.
