Mission
Applied Chemistry Department pledges itself to encourage the advancement of science and particularly nano-science and applied chemistry in all of its branches through its education, research, and service missions.
Vision
The Applied Chemistry Department of Charmo University recognised by the excellence teaching with new understanding for the field of science, which will be able to reduce the gap between different field. The department will offer the highest quality undergraduate (B.S.) and postgraduate (MSc and PhD.) curriculum. This department will have a highly cooperate effectively with other departments to provide the valuable information for student in chemistry, physics, environmental, material science. The department will offer excellent and fascinating introductory courses which will both instruct and stimulate students in all of the university's programs, including the areas of nano-science materials which will be an area for gathering different field in one area to produce high quality graduated students and high-quality researches for supporting our university ranking.
Objectives:
- Graduating students qualified for servicing the community and the government plans and programs of development, education and industry within Kurdistan.
- Conducting academic and scientific research necessary for the improve the quality of researches and increase the university ranking.
- Providing the technical services in field of nanoscience and applied chemistry to both government industry and private sectors.
- Trying to find solutions to the difficult problems that the petroleum field by suffers using local competencies through cooperation with the research groups approved in our university.
Program Objectives
The Bachelor of Science degree program in Nanoscience and Applied Chemistry has the following goals:
- Students are able to be critical and independent learners, and should recognize, recall, show an understanding of scientific knowledge, and communicate information. Graduates will be able to update their professional skills continuously to design integrated systems of people, information, energy, machines, materials and financial resources.
- Students are able to design, perform, analyze the results of chemical experiments, and be able to select appropriate practical methods and implement the safety techniques.
- Students are able to act as a source of expertise and assume responsibility in handling instrumentation independently and in team, and be able to formulate and present technical reports concisely.
- Students are able to carry out independent research in preparation for pursuing higher degrees and be observant to the ethical standards.
- Students will have a knowledge in different fields especially chemistry and physics.
Program Outcomes
Upon the successful completion of the BSc program in Chemistry, graduates will be able to:
- Draw defendable conclusions from data.
