Chemistry is closely related to our daily life, for example, food, cosmetics, medicine, energy and etc. Chemistry is the science describing matters and its reaction and transformations. Studying Chemistry at CityU will give students subject-specific knowledge and equip them with analytical, numerical, research, communication and problem-solving skills. All the knowledge and skills acquired can be applied in their future career in area of chemical science, education and technology, chemistry-related business and commodity markets or further study in research studies.

The Department has a strong team of academic staff who is dedicated to offering quality teaching and to nurturing our young generation. Besides, we strongly encourage students to widen their horizons by participating in learning enrichment programmes, for example, study tours, student exchange, local or overseas internships, departmental-based summer research scholarship scheme; field camps/visits and etc.

The major aims to provide students with a firm foundation in chemical sciences with a focus on analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry. It is designed to train and produce graduates who are able to pursue a developing career in local and regional industrial, commercial, government, education, and research sectors.

Upon successful completion of this major, students should be able to:

• Describe the general chemical principles appropriate to the study of chemistry.
• Competently perform a wide range of laboratory and technical procedures in chemistry.
• Critically evaluate experiments in chemistry as reported in the literature and synthesize information in a constructive manner.
• Identify, analyze and reflect upon the responsibilities of chemists by applying chemical knowledge to society, commerce and the environment.
