Chemistry

Learning Objectives 

The vision of studying chemistry is to cultivate a deep curiosity and interest in scientific investigation. By exploring the world of chemistry, students develop a thirst for knowledge and a passion for understanding the fundamental principles that govern matter and its interactions. Moreover, it also helps students to recognize the interconnectedness of chemistry with other disciplines. By fostering a holistic understanding of the subject, our students are empowered to contribute to scientific advancements and make a positive impact on society.
