About the Department

The Department of Chemistry at Bacha Khan University Charsadda (BKUC) was established in September 2011, initially as a constituent campus of Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan. Following the establishment of Bacha Khan University Charsadda as an independent public-sector university in July 2012, the department became one of its founding academic departments. The department commenced its academic journey with the M.Sc. Chemistry program and has since evolved into a leading center for higher education and research in chemical sciences. In 2014, the department expanded its academic portfolio by introducing MS/M.Phil. and Ph.D. programs, reflecting its commitment to advanced teaching and research. Currently, the department offers BS, M.Sc., MS/M.Phil., and Ph.D. degree programs in various disciplines of chemistry, catering to the academic and research needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students.
