<\/i><\/i><\/span>Programme Description<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The Bachelor of Education in Chemistry (B. Ed. Chem.) program at the College of Education for
\nWomen, University of Mosul, is a four-year, full-time program offered according to the
\nBologna Process and consists of 240 credit hours (ECTS).
\nThe program in the first two semesters provides students with the fundamentals of inorganic,
\norganic, and analytical chemistry, both theoretically and practically (for organic, and analytical
\nchemistry). In addition, it includes educational courses such as: Principles of Education,
\nFundamentals of Psychology, Democracy and Human Rights, and supporting courses in Chemical
\nSafety and Security, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Arabic and English languages.
\nStudents in the second year, learn the fundamental concepts of organic, inorganic, and analytical
\nchemistry, along with an important branch of physical chemistry. They also acquire knowledge in
\neducational leadership and management, educational technology and its applications, computer
\nskills, and Arabic and English languages. Additionally, they are introduced to the practices of the
\nprevious regime through a course on the crimes of the Ba’athist regime in Iraq.
\nStudents’ horizons broaden in the third year, to include other branches of chemistry, namely
\nbiochemistry and industrial chemistry, in addition to organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry.
\nThey also delve into the foundations of education and learning tools through courses such as
\nscientific research methodology, teaching methods, measurement and evaluation, counseling and
\nmental health, and curriculum and textbook.
\nThe student enters a phase of practical educational preparation and research in the fourth (final)
\nyear, where, in addition to organic, physical, analytical, instrumental, biological, and industrial
\nchemistry, teaching methods, practical training, graduation project, teaching thinking skills, and
\naction research are added. This involves preparing a graduation project under the supervision of a
\nprofessor, which is then presented and discussed using theoretical or practical scientific research
\nmethods. Furthermore, practical teaching training is conducted in public schools to enable
\ngraduates of the College of Education for\u00a0 Women (Department of Chemistry) to acquire
\nteaching skills and apply the knowledge gained over their four years of study in the labor market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
