Message from the Chair

The Department of Chemistry is one of the first departments established at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM). It is committed to excellence in both education and research in all areas of Chemistry.  The department offers Bachelor of Science degrees in either Chemistry or Industrial Chemistry. Our Graduate Program is also one of the first to be established at the university.   Both MS and PhD degrees are offered in the main traditional areas of Chemistry; namely, Analytical, Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry as well as the specialized areas of Catalysis and Polymer Chemistry. The departmental facilities are equipped with the latest and most advanced instrumentation needed for research.  This includes 500 MHz NMR, FT-IR and Raman, GC-MS, ESR, X-Ray Diffractometer, and Single Crystal X-Ray Diffractometer,  Atomic Absorption and Flourescence Spectrometers, ICP, GC and HPLC units and so on).  The dedication of our faculty and the departmental support to research make the chemistry department one of the leading departments in research at KFUPM and in the region.

Through the Continuing Education Services, the department is also very active in offering short courses that serve the needs of industry, in both the public and private sectors of the local and GCC communities.
