About the Department of Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry was established in 2004 as part of the Faculty of Science at Al-Hussein Bin Talal University. Chemistry is a core science concerned with the structure and properties of elements and compounds and the reactions between them.

The department offers a B.Sc. in Chemistry and an M.Sc. in Applied Chemistry, launched in the 2022/2023 academic year. The study plans are designed to give students knowledge they can apply in the workplace and include courses that keep pace with recent scientific developments.

The department aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge and the skills and experience needed for careers in teaching, industry and the pharmaceutical sector, and to prepare them for graduate studies and scientific research.
