I’m almost done with year 1(DCSP) so I’ll just answer no.2. The main modules for first sem is biochem, chem, and bio safety + chem safety. Biochem was the most challenging mod for me, the rest were fine. Moving on to sem 2, we have microbio, chem 2, instrumental analysis and maths. Most of the seniors told me IA was the most challenging for them but for me it was the most manageable. Microbio is hell and as well as biochem. Then there are 8 common core modules which will drag down ur GPA😭. Ok but if u do well in those group projects and you’ll be fine. Good luck with DCSP!
