HOD, Chemical Sciences
Chemistry is the index of industrial development. The giant strides made by man in understanding and exploitation of nature, synthesis of new materials essential to the enhancement of the quality of life, and the surge in sustenance of economic and technological progress have benefited immensely from chemistry.
A degree programme in Chemistry and Industrial chemistry should foster in the undergraduate an appreciation of the centrality of chemical science to human well-being, as well as its inevitable linkage to, and interactions with other branches of science.
PROGRAMS
Chemistry is the branch of science concerned with the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and reactions, and the use of such reactions to form new substances.
Bio-Chemistry is the study of the chemical substances and processes that occur in animals, plants and microorganisms and of the changes they undergo during development and life.
Industrial Chemistry is concerned with using chemical and physical processes to transform raw materials into products that are beneficial to humanity. This includes the manufacture of basic chemicals to produce products for various industries.
