PhD Chemistry

Department of Applied Sciences of NTU, being one of the basic academic divisions of the University, has always been striving for the realization of this mandate. One manner of achieving this is to offer PhD Chemistry Program, in addition to its specific tasks of undertaking basic, applied, and mission-oriented researches. The main objective of this degree is to create self- motivated chemists who can fulfill the demand of current challenging fields. This postgraduate degree is based on applied research to prepare students for professional career in research. In addition to that, the program provides a unique opportunity to graduates to strengthen their knowledge and work in multi-disciplines. Our researchers have also ability to help out different industry related problems through knowledge of education and research especially in the context of textile industry.

National Textile University graduate program in chemistry is launched to combine a great foundation in chemistry adaptability to range of student interest and career objectives. Department of applied sciences maintains a close association with industry specially textile industry and departments providing good opportunity for interdisciplinary study and research for the students. The Department also participates with other colleges and universities in combined research efforts, including collaborative research at regional, national and international facilities. Close interaction between students and faculty, facilitates responsibility to the needs of each student.

After completing Degree PhD graduates should be able to: 

  • Identify research questions in emerging chemistry and independently conduct competitive solutions.
  • Demonstrate the ability of scientifically communicate technical information of their related discipline
  • Research and critique computing literature and utilize it for proposing a solution
  • Demonstrate the advance and practical concepts of chemistry.

Duration of the Program

  1. The period for completion of PhD program shall be 3 - 8 years, one year for 18 credit hours course work and two years for research, the period shall be counted from the commencement of course work.
  2. The maximum permissible period for submission of PhD thesis will be 16 semesters (8 Years) including course work. After 10 semesters, the scholar will cease to be the student of the university and shall not be eligible for readmission.

Semester-wise Workload

  1. The PhD candidate has to take PhD level course work of minimum 18 credit hours with the consent of his/her supervisor.
  2. The course contents are proposed by the concerned Faculty Board of Studies, recommended by the Advanced Studies and research Board (ARSB) and approved by the Academic Council.
