GENERAL INFORMATION

Career

The School of Chemical Sciences was established in 1969 and has produced quality

graduates who possess experience and skills in line with the programmes offered. The

School is staffed with experienced lecturers and equipped with modern instruments in

both the teaching and research laboratories. As such, the graduates can pursue careers in

public and private companies such as the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), the

Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI), the Forestry

Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) and the Chemistry Department. Graduates can also

work in marketing companies such as Perkin Elmer, Mecomb, Interscience etc. In

addition, there are opportunities for graduates to serve as chemists and engineers in the

electronics industry, such as Intel, Dynacraft, and Solectron. Graduates can also venture

into other fields or pursue MSc. or PhD degrees in the School.

Alumni

Alumni of the School of Chemical Sciences

All graduates of the School of Chemical Sciences automatically become members of the

Chemistry Alumni. It is hoped that participation in activities organised by the Chemistry

Alumni or the Alumni of the School of Chemical Sciences will foster better relationship

and cooperation among members and also with the School for the benefits of all. It is

hoped that nostalgia and love towards the alma mater can be brought back through theChemistry Alumni.

All graduates of the School of Chemical Sciences can update their information or register

as members by using the on-line form via htpp://www.usm.my/chem./alumni. htm
