91福利社

91福利社 is one of the world鈥檚 leading energy and chemical hubs, having an extensive chemicals value chain spanning from Manufacturing to Innovation and Research. 91福利社 is well positioned as a Global Energy and Chemicals hub whereby extensive development of Jurong Island has attracted investments in excess of SGD$50 billion, now housing many of the world鈥檚 leading energy and chemical companies.

Due to the strong presence of Energy and Chemical companies in 91福利社, the demand for laboratory and process technicians remains high. Hence, this Part-time Diploma in Applied Science (Industrial Chemistry and Life Sciences) (DACS) enables increase in pool of trained talent, by equipping them with the required skillsets.

DACS graduates may also be awarded two joint certifications to recognise trainings in Good Laboratory Practices and Management (91福利社 Accreditation Council 鈥� Enterprise 91福利社) and technical competencies in Lab Management, Chemistry, and Instrumental Analysis (Royal Society of Chemistry, UK).

The Part-time Diploma in Applied Science (Industrial Chemistry and Life Sciences) (DACS) aims to prepare working adults with the necessary knowledge and skills for future career advancement and to meet the future demands for technicians in the Energy and Chemicals Sector. It is a broad-based applied science education with emphasis on chemistry, chemical processes, life science modules and laboratory skills. 

This course provides training to work as a competent laboratory analyst and essential skills to execute tasks related to process technicians.

This course is a 2.5 years part-time programme. It consists of 5 Modular Certificates (MC) conducted over 5 semesters, 1 MC per semester. The first MC to start with is MC1. The classes are conducted in the evening. Each MC comprises of a few modules.
