Chemistry is an experiment-based science. Thousands of scientists have made millions of experimental observations over several hundred years. From these observations, fundamental principles have been deduced regarding the properties and reactivity of matter, skills and methods used by chemists are applicable to other facts of life, and can help to solve practical problems.
The Department of Chemistry consists of a prominent group of scientists, both faculty and students who engage in a broad range of chemical, educational, and research activities. The faculty is dedicated to chemical education and prides itself on its graduate and undergraduate programs, which are designed to prepare students for active careers in industry and academia. Knowledge of chemistry has been developed through intensive course work, laboratory experiments, literature, and individual research efforts. As a result, it increases the chance for students to demonstrate their ability for creative and innovative studies in various industries and research institutes after graduation. The Department is open to everyone who has a passion for chemistry.
Most chemistry majors go on to jobs in precision chemistry, semiconductor chemistry, heavy industry, petrochemical industry, and pharmaceutics. All major chemical companies send requests for the Department's students throughout the year. Many smaller companies and academic institutions also contact individual faculty members when positions become available. Such openings are made known to all students, and every effort is made to find suitable jobs for graduates. Strong ties exist between the Department and the chemical industry. Graduates hold industrial or academic positions, or they are employed by the government or research institutes.
