DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

The Department of Chemistry is the largest department in the Faculty of

Science. The Department started operation in the academic year

1959/1960 and is one of the oldest departments in the faculty. The

Department is the first institution of higher learning in Malaysia to receive

the prestigious Royal Society of Chemistry, UK accreditation for its BSc

(Chemistry) and BSc (Applied Chemistry) programme since August 2012.

One of the objectives of the Department is to provide a centre of excellence

in chemical education and research in Malaysia. Students from the

Department are trained to develop their critical, creative and innovative

thinking. The Department is proud to produce graduates who are highly

regarded, and much sought after in the work force market.

Presently, the Department has 52 academic staffs, several of whom are

from abroad, and 1 Emeritus Professor. Apart from teaching at both

undergraduate and postgraduate degree levels, the staffs also conduct

quality research in fundamental and applied chemistry. Although the

academic staffs have different research interests, they adhere to the same

philosophy in solving chemical-related problems and in the development of

expertise in chemistry.

In addition to the undergraduate programme, the department also offers

MSc by research and coursework; and PhD programmes. Since the

establishment, the Department has produced many MSc and PhD

graduates who assume high positions in both government and private

organization locally and internationally.
