A PhD in chemistry program covers the traditional branches of chemistry namely organic, inorganic and physical chemistry. It seeks to explain factors that course reactions to occur, how they occur and their adverse and non adverse effects on our well being.
Graduate students will undertake research in their chosen area under the supervison of faculty.
Course Description
Objectives of the programme shall be to train and equip the students with;
- Knowledge in analytical, environmental, organic, inorganic, physical chemistry, industrial, material science, drug development among others.
- Competence in developing creative research and also synthesise novel inorganic and organic compounds.
- Skill to synthesize and characterize compounds
- Knowledge in extraction, separation, purification and characterization of compounds from variuos sources
- In-depth knowledge of molecular structure, thermodynamics and chemical kinetics of transformation of the various chemical processes, materials and surfaces.
- Skills to apply current research and technology to detect chemical and biological analytes in a variety of contexts including environmental testing, biological probing and medical diagnostics
- Skills to derive useful information and expression for practical application of equilibria of processes and kinetics of various chemical interactions
