1) BSc in Chemistry

The BSc in Chemistry at Khalifa University educates future scientists to design, develop, and investigate chemical processes at the fundamental level. A chemistry education provides a holistic set of skills (e.g. computational, analytical, numerical and synthetic) andmethodologies for looking at the physical world. Chemistry students further have an opportunity to pursue their interests in more specialized sub-disciplines of chemistry through available degree-tracks, designed to serve the country’s needs in three vital areas: environmental, materials and forensic sciences.

(i) The “Environmental Chemistry” track is expected to promote a sustainable development through environmental monitoring and assessment, green chemistry and renewable energies.

(ii)The “Materials Chemistry” track will contribute to downstream petroleum-based industries such as the manufacture of polymers and plastics.

(iii)The “Forensic Chemistry” track will support the investigative skills linked with criminology and the police force.

2) MSc in Applied Chemistry

The MSc in Applied Chemistry degree is awarded to candidates who successfullycomplete the academic courses and research project thesisrequirements of the program. The program is intended for candidates with abachelor degree in chemistry or other related specialization. The program’s typical length is four semesters, with the first three semesters requiring the completion of a combination of course work and thesis work, and the final semester only requiring thesis work and writing. The program is designed to give candidates an opportunity to enhance their knowledge of chemistry and develop research expertise and skills in instrumentation and methodology that will prepare them for careers in applied chemistry or to pursue a doctorate degree.
