Industrial Chemistry Program

Program Description

• Industrial Chemistry is the branch of chemistry which applies physical and chemical processes on the transformation of raw materials into products that are of benefit to humanity. The goal of the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Chemistry degree program is to produce graduates who will be highly skilled in this activity. This can be accomplished by first giving the students a strong foundation in chemistry, mathematics and physics. The Industrial Chemistry graduate is a chemist with knowledge linkages in engineering, chemical processing, economics and industrial management. This degree involves doing research, developing and improving properties of products we use every day through the selection of raw materials, designing chemical processes and improving the conditions of production.

Advantages of the Program

• Industrial chemistry is part of the long chain in the design and manufacturing process. Industrial chemists deal with the ideas, the design, the testing, and prototyping of new industrial products. In order to design something entirely new to help solve the major problems of the world their essential skills are, in-depth knowledge and application of chemistry and creativity with chemicals. Industrial chemists make use of their broad understanding of chemistry and environmental sustainability in areas like pharmaceutical companies, polymer manufacturing, petrochemical processing, food science, and manufacturing industries.

Job Opportunities

• Manufacturing and related industries such as petroleum, chemicals, ceramics, cement and polymers.
• Food industry.
• Electronics industry.
• Mining industry such as iron and steel.
• Pharmaceutical industries and health-related industries.
• Government agencies including police, customs and defense
