Department Study Methods:

Basically, the strategy of study in the chemistry department follows the modern and international studying process, called the Bologna process. Accordingly, the study is designed in a scientific and educational environment, either the lectures taken by the students in and out of the UoS campus.

Unfortunately, under certain circumstances, such as having pandemics or natural disasters, only the web-based learning service will be implemented via modern online platforms. However, this would be in a manner; from pure online to hybrid lectures depends upon the situation.

Currently, in conjunction with in campus lecturing, we are running supportive web-based learning service including recorded and live lectures. The Department is organized into six main sections: Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry; Educational Psychological sections. A further sub-sections focuses on research into Chemical Biology, Nanoscience, Polymer and Petroleum chemistry. The Department is led by the Head of Department, Dr Srood Omer Rashid.

  • All theoretical lectures and practical experiments that relate to chemistry, including exams, quizzes, and assessments, are given in English.
  • Other educational and psychological lectures are offered in Kurdish.
