CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT Chemistry Department, University Malaya is the biggest department in the Faculty of Science other than the Institute of Biological Sciences. The Chemistry department starts its operation in the academic year 1959/1960 and it is one of the oldest departments in this faculty. One of its main objective of the department is to provide an excellent centre of education and research in Malaysia. Students from this department are trained to develop their critical and creative thinking. The department is proud that its graduates are highly regarded and valued in the work force market. At the moment, the department has 42 academic staffs. Apart from teaching at the Bachelor level, the staffs also conduct quality researches. In general, although the academicians have different research interests, they hold to the same philosophy in solving departmental problems and in the development of knowledge in chemistry. In addition to the bachelor programme, the department also offers postgraduate courses; MSc and PhD. Since its establishment, chemistry department has produced many MSc and PhD graduates through research and courseworks.

RESEARCH AREA Research in Chemistry department can be divided into 5 main areas; organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry and polymer chemistry. Some active research subareas are natural products, environmental chemistry, colloidal chemistry, computational chemistry, synthesis of organic compounds and organometallics, and electrochemistry. Chemistry department provides sophisticated instumentations for teaching and research activities; NMR spectrometer (JEOL 400MHz Lambda and JEOL JNM-EX90A), FTIR spectrometer (Perkin Elmer 1600), Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer

10

(AT1 Mattson), HPLC, AAS/ES and thermal analysersl (DSC, TGA and DMTA).

JOB OPPRTUNITIES Courses offered at the Chemistry Department meet the current requirements to accomodate postgraduate studies and jobs. Chemistry is a professional field and to date, our chemistry graduates has filled the job markets in both the public and private sectors. Job opportunities are available in basic reseach R&D areas such as those in research institutions: FRIM, SIRIM, MARDI and IMR. In addition, graduates can embrace the teaching profession in colleges and schools The industries that recruit our graduates include chemical manufacturers, electronics, sales nd many others. All these depend on the interest and the capability of the graduates to adapt themselves in various working environments and conditions of their chosen profession.
