In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Department of Chemistry was established in 2004 as one of the departments of the Faculty of Science at Al-Hussein Bin Talal University, to provide the labour market with academically and professionally qualified graduates for sectors such as education and the chemical and mining industries. Since its establishment, the department has continuously strived for excellence in teaching, research and service to individuals and the community.

The study plan offered by the department is an integrated programme that aims to give students the knowledge and skills needed to excel in chemistry and to prepare them to participate effectively in the labour market. It includes carefully selected courses covering a range of fields in line with recent developments in the discipline, helping graduates gain strong, competitive skills.

The Master’s programme in Applied Chemistry, launched by the department in 2022/2023, is an important step in strengthening academic education in this field, providing students with the specialised knowledge and practical skills they need in modern chemistry.

The department currently has faculty members of all academic ranks, as well as technical, supervisory and administrative staff. Its facilities include teaching and research laboratories equipped to cover the main branches of chemistry: analytical, organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, as well as industrial chemistry and biochemistry.
