Graduate Competencies

Chemistry is a universal science. The study program has been accredited by Royal Society of Chemistry and National Accreditation Board of Higher Education (BAN-PT). This has proven that the excellence of our educational outputs and research findings are recognized internationally and nationally. These advantages are supported by adequate research facilities in our laboratories.

The courses taught in our study program cover the basic properties of matter and its changes along with the energy that accompanies the changes. Material changes are intended to produce compounds that are beneficial to human life.

Career Prospects

Our graduates are able to pursue careers in research institutions (such as LIPI, BATAN, and LEMIGAS), as educators (as lecturers and school teachers), in industries (such as cement, medicine, oil, and gas), and government institutions such as regional governments and ministries.

Research Support Facilities

Our study program has extensive research equipment including FTIR spectrophotometer, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Specular Reflectance UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, Bomb-Calorimeter, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer, Liquid Chromatography and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, X-ray diffraction machines, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer, H-NMR and C-NMR 500 MHz, Scanning Electron Microscopy with EDS, and ICP-AES.
