The Department of Chemistry intends to produce graduates with a strong foundation in the subject and mould them into well-trained and confident individual who can strive hard and succeed in their vigors. The department caters to the thriving need for a scientist who can formulate drugs and help the world in battling the world from the pandemic. The department has a sanctioned strength of 32 and a well-equipped laboratory to carry out experiments at the undergraduate level.
The Bachelor of Science – Chemistry, undergraduate programme, at minimum requires the applicant to have obtained the pass percentage in Higher Secondary Level exam finals.
Overview:
The Department of Chemistry was started as an allied department in the year 1987 and acquired major status in the year 2016. The Chemistry Department association, “Aurum” was inaugurated on 12.09.2016 by Dr. Cynthia Jemima Swarnavalli, Associate Professor and Head, Women Christians College. The association aims to place the graduates in reputed Research Organizations and industries in the chemical arena. It challenges their critical thinking, gives practical exposure, and prepares them for rewarding professional careers. Graduates from this course are better equipped to understand the new environment-friendly systems and understand the chemical industry’s processes.
Objective:
Importance of Chemistry and its role in the real world:
Chemistry is a fascinating field of study. It plays a major role in almost every aspect of our life. The research in the field of Chemistry provides many solutions to problems like health, materials, and energy usage. It is referred to as the Centre of Science since it deals with Physics, Mathematics, Biology, and Medicine. The study of Chemistry provides background to the advanced study of Biochemistry, Endocrinology, Physiology, Microbiology, and Pharmacology.
How we believe this course will benefit an aspirant? What is our approach towards teaching? Impact a student can possibly make in world after graduation:
A course like Bachelors in Chemistry will help an aspirant in facing real-world challenges like poor employment, lack of direction in career and financial pressure.
The main objective of teaching this course is to make the aspirant understand the subject, as Chemistry is primarily based on concepts and mechanisms. The techniques involved in teaching this course will focus on strengthening the basic practical and theoretical knowledge of this subject and cultivating good interview skills to meet the lagging career opportunities.
After graduation, a student with good credit can satisfy the growing demands in Pharmaceutical Companies, Cosmetics and Perfume Industry, Educational Institutions, Clinical and Chemical Laboratories, and the Health Care Industry
