You are welcome to Department of Chemistry, Federal University of Technology, Owerri.
This is a Department that offers two options that are interrelated. These options are Pure Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry option.
The Pure Chemistry option is an option that prepares a student for thorough basic research which can be applied in medicine, Biotechnology, Physics and Engineering areas. It can be applied in these various areas because there is in-depth mathematical treatment of all the courses and topics. This mathematical treatment in pure Chemistry does not exclude the biophysics of life expressions. The research area involves the assessment of the bioactive and probable industrial raw material components of natural product extracts and their application to improve the human health and the environment. Graduates are exposed to work in life science such as pharmaceuticals, clinical diagnosis and surface applications during material development.
Industrial Chemistry option emphasizes on the chemical application in other areas of life such as in oil and other chemical industries. We work on marginal field development applying micro emulsion Technologies. A lot of effort is made in study of climate changes by GIS application to pollution studies. We have been able to apply other aspects such as artificial intelligence procedure in optimum evaluations as well as Mat- Lab series in optimization.
Our vision is to be a world class department known by its high reputation in teaching and research that enhances excellence, innovation and discovery thereby attracting high class students and staff worldwide. Graduates of Chemistry Department are expected to be productive members in our National Economic Development and any other country they find themselves. In this way every graduate of this department will produce his or her full capacity in areas such as oil exploration, mineral processes, mining and in government economic analysis. Therefore, a graduate of department of chemistry is a person who will be able to function to full capacity in contributing to further development of this country.
Our courses are designed such that the students are not only given basic understanding of material transformation but they are also grounded and equipped with the capacity to add value to existing material management. We aspire to values which are based on the highest professional and academic standards in terms of personal growth and satisfaction offered to our staff and students and also teamwork that is based on respect, trust and integrity, and innovation to promote growth and value to our research sponsors.
The Academic programme of Chemistry Department started in 1981 under the Chemical Sciences and Technology sub-discipline. This sub-discipline was one of the five programme areas in the School of Natural and Applied Sciences, SNAS. The Chemistry Department headed by DR. C.I. Anunuso started Academic Activities in 1981/82 session with 18 students. These pioneer students graduated during the 1985/86 session with B.Tech. (Hon.) degree in Industrial Chemistry.
As consequence of reorganizations, the Industrial Chemistry programme area attained the status of an Academic Department in 1988/89 session. The academic curricula were based on the NUC Minimum Academic Standards. During the first Accreditation Visitation by NUC between 10th and 14thDecember, 1990, the Department of Chemistry earned full accreditation status for two options of Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech.) in Pure Chemistry and B. Tech. in Industrial Chemistry. In the 1997/98 session, the Department of Chemistry graduated seventy (70) candidates in these two degree options compared with eighteen (18) candidates in 1988/89. In 2005/2006 academic session the final year class contained 216 candidates out of which 111 candidates graduated. Since then, the Department has been graduating students between 100 and 200 in number up to last graduation.
Post Graduate Programmes in Analytical Chemistry leading to the M.Sc and Ph.D were approved by Senate for the Department of Chemistry in 1990. In 1992 Programmes in Mineral Processing leading to M.Sc and Ph.D were approved by Senate. In 2002 Programmes in Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry leading to degrees of M.Sc and Ph.D were approved by Senate. In 2007, programmes in Environmental Chemistry, leading to M.Sc and Ph.D were approved by Senate. Other programmes approved in the same package with Environmental Chemistry were: M.Sc/M.Tech in Chemical Quality Control and Industrial Safety and PGD Programmes in Environmental Chemistry and in Quality Control for Chemical Industries. Accordingly the student registration has increased from three (3) in 1989 to fifty six (56) in 2013. The Department is obliged to manage this growth process responsibly and positively.

Candidates seeking admission into PGD courses are required to possess B.Sc (Hons) or B. Tech. (Hons) degree in the Physical, Biological or Agricultural Science of any accredited university. A Pass degree may be considered subject to the recommendations based on the Transcript. HND in LaboratoryTechnology or any Applied Sciences may also be considered.
Candidates admitted into PGD programmes may be required to take some courses at the undergraduate level in order to remedy any deficiency observed in their transcript. Grades scored in such remedial courses shall not form any part of the basis for the evaluation of the postgraduate diploma programmes for such candidates. PGD candidates who scored a required mimimum may be admitted in to the M.Sc programmes on application and due consideration. Students are required to take some basic undergraduate courses in Chemistry as listed below:
Courses in Harmattan Semester:
