Overview

Chemical Technology Diploma

A Chemical Technology diploma will allow you the flexibility to choose a career path that suits you.

Chemical Technology is a nationally accredited, two-year diploma program offered through Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Saskatoon Campus. 

The program is designed to give you a well-rounded foundation in scientific principles and analytic practices--essential building blocks for a flexible career. You'll build knowledge and skills in:

  • analytical instrumentation
  • organic, physical, analytical, and environmental chemistry
  • handling and manipulating chemicals
  • laboratory quality control and assurance
  • recording, processing, and reporting data

Learning is hands-on--you'll spend almost as much time in labs as in the classroom. And you'll apply what you've learned during a four-week industry research project.
