Programme Name: Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy (Chemistry)
(Full time and Part time) – by Research
| M.Phil (Chemistry) – Research | Ph.D (Chemistry) – Research |
The Department of Chemistry offers two research based programmes leading to the Masters and PhD degrees in Chemistry. These programmes served to those who are interested in research and require in-depth knowledge and experience in chemistry through individual and specialised research projects. The programmes allow the students to acquire advanced knowledge in their fields of interest. Students will work in outstanding facilities together with experienced academic supervisors.
PhD candidates are also required to present seminar related to their research findings as part of their training. They are also required to publish papers in indexed journals.
All research students are required to attend Compulsory Department Courses as follows during their 1st and 2nd semester (at least one of the course for PhD student)
For PhD programme, students are completing to present at national or international conference.
All PhD student are required to take any 2 courses (status :HS offered) by master MSCK Mixed Mode.
