Program Vision:
In line with the University policy to adopt distinct disciplines to meet the needs of the local labour market and in light of the significant shortage of qualified cadres in the field of chemistry and their applications in various industries (food, medicines, polymers, leather, detergents, etc.), there has been the opening of the chemistry me. This program addresses this shortage and the resulting level of quality of industrial products. It also raises the level of performance and efficiency of industrial enterprises related.
Program Mission:
The program aims at providing the Palestinian society with necessary specialised scientific competencies to serve the society and its development plans, programs, education, industry and conducting applied academic research. It also contributes to the dissemination of scientific culture to provide technical services in the field of chemistry for both the public and private sectors.
Student Enrollment in the Programme:
Students are directly enrolled in the programme based on their General Secondary School Certificate (Tawjihi) on a competitive basis (equal opportunity policy adopted by An-Najah National University).
