BS CHEMISTRY
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
During the four-year BS Chemistry program, students will engage with a distinctive curriculum, students will be taught to understand, manipulate, and control complex systems at the molecular level, to understand life at cellular and subcellular levels, and to develop technologies in a sustainable manner. The theoretical foundation is strengthened through a thoughtfully designed series of laboratory experiments. Students are actively encouraged to participate in research projects under experienced faculty supervision and engage with evolving industry practices. We actively involve our students in various industries (Cement, Fertilizers, Pharmaceuticals, Textile, Chemical, Energy, etc.) in Pakistan. Our students undergo training and internships in these industries, enhancing their practical skills and industry awareness.
