Chairperson’s Message
We are pleased that you are sparing time to explore the Department of Chemistry at the University of Management and Technology (UMT) through our web site. For those of you who are using these pages to consider us as a home for your undergraduate or graduate educational experience, we extend a special welcome.
Chemistry is the science describing matter and its transformations. It is the science that defines molecules, nanostructures, and extended solids, and their properties, reactions and applications. This empowering science is central to virtually all areas of modern science and technology, especially the new, exciting inter- and multi-disciplinary areas of molecular genetics, molecular biology, nanotechnology, medicinal chemistry, drug design and development, and green (environmentally sustainable) chemistry/industry.
Our undergraduate program provides state-of-the-art curriculum that furnish students with excellent training for a variety of career in the industry, education, and government sector, as well as other fields. We dispense customized academic advising, planning, and research opportunities to students.
Similarly, our graduate program offers opportunities to all students in a wide spectrum of chemical disciplines including organic, analytical, inorganic, environmental, physical and theoretical chemistry. Graduate students have the privilege to choose their courses and research projects.
The students and faculty in the Department of Chemistry UMT develop new forms of matter, explore a wide range of atomic and molecular systems. Some of our research groups focus on core aspects of physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry, while others explore open questions at the interface of materials science and environmental science.
We are dedicated to developing the next generation of scholars in chemistry and building an inclusive learning environment. Our department is located in close proximity to other departments in the school of science including department of life sciences, Department of physics, and Department of mathematics and state-of-the-art shared academic facilities, making UMT a rich environment for our students and faculty.
We invite you to explore our web site, enroll in our courses, join our undergraduate or graduate program, carry out cutting-edge research, engage our faculty and staff and enter the diverse and interesting world of Chemistry. It will give you the power to improve the quality of daily life. I hope you will join our community of chemistry scholars, make use of the most opportunities we offer, and build a rewarding career.
I very much look forward to seeing you in UMT Chemistry department.
