BS Chemistry (AD-Based) 2 Years

Introduction

There has been a continuous effort at the national level to upgrade the standard of college education. It is realized that our existing BSc programme does not meet international standards. The Higher Education Commission has recommended a four year BS programme to be followed by a two-year MS programme. The BS degree is considered equivalent to MSc Chemistry. However, BS degree holders are given preference for the relevant job over MSc graduates as their knowledge is more focused on Chemistry. It is a major structural change in our existing educational system. The country will enormously benefit from the fruits of this change in terms of improved and balanced knowledge and skill.

The department of Chemistry offers the best facilities for this programme in the country. Its new labs and modern equipment together with qualified faculty makes it place to which students would like to be a part of it.

Eligibility Criteria

Students with an Associate degree with 50% marks in the relevant field with at least 60 credit hours shall be eligible for admission.

Associate Degree in Chemistry

Introduction

Department of Chemistry is a major department of the Faculty of Science. It was established in 1998 to offer postgraduate programs in Chemistry. In the beginning only MSc programme was started, which was later extended to include MPhil and PhD programs. The faculty of the department comprises of one Professor, three Associate Professors, four Assistant Professor and three Lecturers. In addition, the department also uses services of experienced professors as visiting faculty.

The department is situated in Science Block on the main campus where it occupies the ground floor and a portion of the lower floor. With the expansion of lab facilities, the department has extended its academic activities by launching the BS programme from Spring, 2009. BS programme is visualized in the new scheme of higher education as a fundamental step in improving the standard of graduate and postgraduate studies.

The study programs in chemistry have been developed by the Faculty according to the guidelines provided by the Higher Education Commission (HEC). Necessary changes have been made time to time to suit our students, but without deviating fundamentally from the principles set by the HEC. The Committee of Courses of the department comprising distinguished professors and scientists of the country thoroughly screened the proposed syllabi.

Chemistry is an experimental science. Students learn basic techniques in the labs. Therefore, it is essential to provide best lab facilities to students of various levels. The chemistry department takes pride in offering the most modern lab facilities in the country to its students in all branches of chemistry. Its research labs are equipped with CHNS Analyzer, Thermal Analyzer, UV-Visible, Fluorescence and FTIR Spectrophotometer, GC-MS, Flash Column Chromatography and HPLC units, Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, and Electrochemical workstations. Teaching labs are well equipped with routine apparatus and basic instruments. These lab facilities make us one of the leading teaching and research departments of the country.

The department firmly believes in the promotion of chemistry as a science and in maintaining the highest standards. The department is in mission to promote chemistry as a science and provide opportunities of professional growth and updating knowledge to chemistry graduates.

PhD Chemistry

Introduction

The department of chemistry was established in March 1998. Its faculty consists of one professor, one associate professor, three assistant professors and two lecturers. The department has most modern equipments/ instrumentation in its teaching and research labs in the Science Block at AIOU main campus. These equipments/ instrumentation include CHNS Analyzer, Thermal Analyzer, UV-Visible, Fluorescence and FTIR Spectrophotometers, GC-MS, HPLC, Atomic Absorption spectrometer and Electrochemical System etc.
The department has developed all the courses for PhD level in accordance with the guideline provided by the Higher Education Commission (HEC). These courses are reviewed from time to time through Committee of Courses to incorporate emerging modern trends in the subject. The Committee of Courses of the department has distinguished Professors and Scientists of the country as members besides departmental faculty. Department has also signed MOU with university of Rostock, Germany. By this MOU, our PhD students get opportunity to do research work in Germany. Moreover department has also signed MOU with University of Kebangsaan Malaysia. This collaboration will be very useful for our MPhil and PhD students.
