The M.Sc. in Chemistry program aims at providing opportunities to top UAE and international students to pursue a high quality graduate education in the field of chemistry. The program is built on knowledge depth and advanced research to prepare graduates for challenging jobs in multiple sectors. This is achieved by offering a well-balanced curriculum based on well-designed theoretical courses and providing opportunity and means for advanced research in highly important areas where major scientific and technological challenges are addressed. The Department of Chemistry is well-established in terms of research facilities allowing for advanced quality research under the supervision of faculty members with a wide spectrum of research interests. Research interests cover all of the traditional areas of chemistry, analytical, organic, inorganic, physical, and biochemistry besides cross-disciplinary research areas such as bio-analytical, petroleum, materials, environmental, pharmaceutical, and computational chemistry. The program is designed with significant flexibility by accepting full-time as well as part-time students and offering evening as well as week-end courses. The model study plan is to complete the required theoretical course work (24 credit hours) and thesis research work (6 credit hours) within two years for a for full-time candidate and three years for a part-time candidate.

Required Credit Hours: minimum hours
