What are good dual options with M.Sc. Chemistry and why?

Talking about the dual degree program and compatibility of Chemistry with your dual discipline. As you might have been already familiar with the fame of dual combination of Maths and Economics with Computer Science, or Physics with Electrical and Electronics, Chemistry though not directly, but indirectly definitely helps in your dual discipline. I know many students who have done amazing projects in college, to give you a example, like Organic Electronics where students with Chemistry and Electrical background got benefitted more because of their dual. Likewise, talking about placements, several companies even prefer dual degree students over single degree students because of their exhaustive knowledge about both the branches.

In the end, as a personal advice I would like to say to exercise all your choices before going for Msc Chemistry or rather any dual as a matter of fact. You will be investing next 5 years with a hectic schedule (Yes, Dual degree curriculum is tough and overloaded when compared with single degree’s curriculum). At this stage, 4 years and 5 years won’t ring much difference to your years but indeed there is bigger perspective to this in the long run. If you think you got no other choice, then definitely go for Msc Chemistry at BITS Hyderabad. Don’t worry about dual combination.
