Chemists continue to make an enormous contribution to society, for example:  development of batteries for portable electronic devices; discovery of drugs and medicines for treating disease; polymers for drug delivery, medical implants and aerospace, flavors and preservatives used in food or water purification and many others. A world of opportunities and a huge range of careers awaits students who major in chemistry.  
The BSc in Chemistry program gives students a broad education in chemistry and supporting subjects in the early stages to provide a holistic set of skills (e.g. computational, analytical, numerical and synthetic), knowledge and methodologies for observing the physical world. Chemistry students can pursue their interests in more specialized sub-disciplines of chemistry or prepare for medical school. Four specialized tracks, designed to serve the UAE’s needs, are currently available:

  • The Environmental Chemistry track promotes sustainable development through environmental monitoring and assessment, green chemistry and renewable energies.
  • The Materials Chemistry track considers modern applications of downstream petroleum-based industries such as polymers and plastics and also novel nanomaterials such as carbon and metal oxide materials.
  • The Forensic Chemistry track will support the analytical and investigative skills linked with industrial and medical applications as well as criminology in the police force and other investigative agencies.
  • The Medicinal Chemistry track will allow students to develop advanced skills in organic chemistry that are relevant to applications in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries.
 
Upon successful completion of the degree, Chemistry graduates can pursue further studies (MSc or PhD) or careers in business, industry and academia, locally or internationally. Typical employment destinations within the UAE and the Gulf region encompass quality control, analytical and technical roles, education, consultancy, as well as research and development (R&D) roles. Such employment exists within industrial and government laboratories, university and industrial research centers, environmental protection agencies, chemical manufacturing plants and forensic chemistry laboratories (e.g. criminology and clinical science). Many students study for higher degrees, in particular, undertaking research towards a doctorate. Some Chemistry graduates go on to medical school for training and future employment in a medical field.
  Chemists develop and synthesize life-saving tests and drugs within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences sectors and although these are nascent industries within the UAE, the BSc in Chemistry program paves the way for training a new generation of graduates who can play a leading role in developing these crucial sectors of the UAE economy.
