Program Overview
At our institution, we are dedicated to advancing knowledge and fostering learning among undergraduate students through exceptional education. Our approach involves teaching a cross-disciplinary curriculum and providing access to state-of-the-art laboratories. The Department of Chemistry, located at CUI, Islamabad campus, was established in July 2018. Since its inception, the department has prioritized equipping itself with advanced research laboratories, and the campus itself boasts a wide range of cutting-edge scientific equipment. Our department is proud to have a team of highly qualified faculty members, many of whom have international qualifications and are actively engaged in groundbreaking research across various fields of chemistry. Our primary goal is to impart research-based education to the next generation, enabling them to tackle the challenges of the future effectively. We are actively engaging our students in different industries (Cement, fertilizers, Pharmaceuticals, Textile, Chemical, and Energy, etc.) in Pakistan. Our students are doing training and internships in these industries.
