ProgramsM. Sc. Program
Two years M. Sc. postgraduate programme under semester system has been introduced since September 2004. The courses are distributed on four semesters. In first two semesters, Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry are basic courses whereas; Bio and Analytical chemistry are optional courses. First two semesters are consisted of 17 credit hours each. Third and fourth semesters consist of 17 credit hours each. For M.Sc. 3rd and 4th semesters, the student will have to opt for one of the following fields of specialization namely Physical, Inorganic, Organic, Analytical and Biochemistry. The students will have to undertake research project carrying 8 credit hours (4 credit hours per semester) in the field of their specialization.
Eligibility
The eligibility criterion for admission in M.Sc. Chemistry is; B.Sc. with Chemistry Excluding Geography in at least 2nd division (45% marks).

Job Opportunities for Graduates
Latest courses are offered in accordance with the recommendations of HEC. The courses have many plus points. Firstly, having passed this course, a vast field of opportunities is open to those who are keen to carry on with their academic pursuits. Students are provided opportunities to use equipment for laboratory experiments. As a matter of fact, this department has been feeding many research institutions like HEJ Research Institute of Chemistry, Karachi, QAU Islamabad, University of Arid Agriculture Rawalpindi, Punjab University Lahore, PINSTECH and other research organizations. A number of students graduating from this university get admission in foreign universities both in Organic and Inorganic fields besides inland Universities and Institutes.Secondly, the programme places a great deal of emphasis on areas related to environmental studies. Another virtue of this course is that nearly every one on graduating can easily be absorbed in industrial units. A chemist holding our chemistry degree is in great demand in all fields of their relevance from soap factory to pharmaceutical industries. Yet another salient feature of this programme is the area of Organic Chemistry related with extraction and isolation of natural products and their structure elucidation. By exploiting indigenous herbal resources, at through research work on medicinal plants found in Azad Kashmir has yielded excellent results. Nuclear Chemistry including Metal Extraction and Determination of precious and nuclear metals is yet another area, which we take pride in this relatively modern field of study is a part of the course and those who wish to specialize in this field will find their thirst satisfied.
