Vision

To be a Department of excellence for graduate studies and research in chemical science that will infuse highest cognitive skills to serve educational and research institutions, industries, nation and humanity. 

Mission

The Department of Chemistry generates creativity, innovation and inculcates academic excellence by providing higher studies and research in the branches of Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. 

Short History of the Department of Chemistry, CU

Established in 1966, University of Chittagong is one of the premier degree awarding public universities of Bangladesh. On July 1, 1968, Prof. Dr. S.Z. Haider (founder Head) started working to establish the Department of Chemistry under the Faculty of Science. Initially, Department of Chemistry though conducted only M.Sc. programme for the first two years, First Year B.Sc. Honours Course (three years course) was started in 1971 with only 20 students under the guidance of Prof. Dr. S.Z. Haider.

Now, the Department of Chemistry is one of the largest and leading teaching and research oriented Departments in Chittagong University (C.U.) as well as in Bangladesh. Since 1968, hundreds of Chemists who have graduated from this department have played a vital role in the development and improvement of various administrative and educational organizations as well as chemical, pharmaceutical and allied industries both at home and abroad. Our Department has been successful to attract the right mix of high caliber, experienced and professional faculty members and researchers. Most of the senior faculties have overseas teaching and research experiences. Therefore, our students have a unique opportunity to draw on the knowledge and experience of highly competent, intellectual, professional and devoted educators.

At present, the department offers a four year broad spectrum degree of B. Sc. (Honours) in Chemistry with provision for specialization doing major and minor in various fields, such as Physical, Organic, Inorganic, Analytical, Environmental, Nuclear, Applied, Pharmaceutical & Bio-chemistry, Quantum Mechanics & Spectroscopy, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science etc. Besides this, the Department offers M.S., M. Phil and Ph.D. degrees through courses work and dissertation/thesis based on supervised and published researches in all branches of Chemistry. 

There are about 700 undergraduate and 200 post-graduate students and at present 24 regular faculty members in the Department. Faculties are engaged in teaching and researches in various areas of Chemistry. The researches mainly cover synthesis and characterization of inorganic and organic compounds and their antimicrobial activities, synthesis of amino sugars, acyl sugars and heterocyclic compounds, development of carbohydrate based drugs etc. The research activities also focus on some symmetrical and non-symmetrical Schiff-base complexes, studies on physico-chemical properties and molecular interactions in liquids and their multi-component systems, theoretical modeling etc. Our major goals are also to develop new analytical methods to determine trace and ultra trace Inorganics and Organics using various instrumental techniques, to investigate the role of trace essential and toxic metal ions in physiological disorders, separation sciences, introduction of suitable surfactants in Analytical Chemistry, physicochemical assessment of local surface and groundwater resources, chemical assessment of gaseous pollutants, particulate matters and trace metals in air etc. The rich list of our publications in the referred international Journals is a testimony to this. The Department has collaborative researches with a number of National and International organizations.

Very recently we introduced Wi-Fi facility to the Department for both students and teachers. We also installed multimedia projectors in several of our class rooms to facilitate lecture delivery. Hence our Chemistry Department is one of the most modern Departments of Chittagong University, Bangladesh.
