Website: Department of Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry offers research-intensive programs leading to the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. Research activities cover modern aspects of analytical, organic, inorganic, physic, and theoretical chemistry. In addition, several interdisciplinary fields are emphasized including
bioorganic chemistry, biological chemistry, electrochemistry, spectroscopy and photochemistry, chemical structure, and interfacial and surface phenomena. In order to promote research, the department
maintains close ties with other science and engineering departments, the National Research Council, and other government institutions on campus.
Before registering in any Chemistry courses, students are advised to contact the Head of the Department to check if and when a course is to be offered.
