The Chemical Biology stream trains students to become scientists for a career in those sectors of the chemical industry involved in the more organic and biochemical aspects of chemistry. This stream will also prepare you for postgraduate studies and a research career in Organic Chemistry and/or Biochemistry.

In the second and third year the focus is on Chemistry and Biochemistry. Many large and small companies depend for their existence on chemists skilled in process control and in the quality control of raw materials and manufactured products. State laboratories such as the forensic laboratories in Cape Town and Pretoria, Sasol, manufacturers of pesticides, manufacturers of cosmetic products and manufacturers of pharmaceutical products all offer career opportunities for chemists who are trained in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry.

This stream leads to an honours degree programme in Chemistry or Biochemistry.
