MSc Chemistry

Master of Science in Chemistry (M.Sc. Chemistry)

Keeping in mind the requirements of the local society the department also offer MSc Chemistry which is a two years master degree programme offered to students who have obtained two year bachelor degree in the science group with relevant courses. The programme is spread over 4 semesters.

The department offers courses in five specializations (Inorganic, Organic, Physical, Analytical and Biochemistry) during the last year of MSc degree programme and in the last two semesters students have to choose specialization of their own interest.
