In addition, laboratory experience is provided in all mentioned fields as well as in spectroscopy and instrumental analysis that are carried out on modern equipment.

The Department offers a major in Chemical Sciences and a minor in Industrial Chemistry. The student who chooses to have minor in industrial chemistry minor is exposed to a wide variety of industrial chemical technologies in the field of detergents, cosmetics, polymers, food, pharmaceuticals and environment. In this way, we provide students a modern and well-rounded education in chemistry, which emphasizes its relevance to many other areas of knowledge.
