The decision to establish and activate the Department of Chemistry was in response to the university breakthrough towards scientific leadership and progress, to keep pace with the national needs of specialized and trained scientific cadres in the various fields of chemistry. The Department of Chemistry is one of the largest departments in the College of Science, and its teaching services are extended to a large segment of university students in a number of programs outside the College of Science, such as the College of Engineering and colleges of the health sector. The department uses modern technologies in teaching based on e-learning and the use of modern applications - such as the Blackboard application - to activate continuous communication with students and provide scientific and guidance support.
