Profile of the Programme

Chemistry is an interdisciplinary field of different applications such as chemical science, biology, physics and pharmacy, which are in contact with different disciplines and in the technological process such as polymeric materials, catalysis, organic and inorganic synthesis. There are five departments: Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physicochemistry, and the courses taught were developed at an advanced level, covering the basic chemistry knowledge and considering the aforementioned five departments. The department was established in 1993 and is located at Yunus Emre Campus. It was affiliated with Eskişehir Technical University, which was established with the Law No. 7141 published in the Official Gazette dated May 18, 2018 and numbered 30425.

There are 5 Professors, 1 Associate Professor, 1 Research Assistant in the Department of Analytical Chemistry. Research Laboratories are equipped with devices that can conduct scientific research in projects such as TUBITAK and Scientific Research Projects. Those who graduate from this department can be a researcher in their fields, and they can provide useful and productive services in research / development laboratories of various institutions and organizations, modern analysis and quality control laboratories, and educational institutions if they acquire the necessary training formation. Decisions related to the department are taken by the department staff or by a board consisting only of the department heads. The department is run by one president and two vice-presidents.
