Welcome to the Department of Chemistry, a department of innovation, a department of firsts — where curiosity drives discovery and ideas are transformed into solutions. Experiment with molecules that matter, synthesize frameworks which capture …not just the imagination, and explore from the chemistry of food, sensors, medicine and the environment to the materials that power modern technology. Our department, built on a legacy of discoveries, combines a rich academic tradition with innovative teaching, hands-on laboratory experiences, and cutting-edge research. We always seek to break new ground in teaching and research, and to strive for excellence.
The Department of Chemistry currently offers undergraduate programmes leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. Some programmes are offered in collaboration with other departments. For further information see the FST handbook.
