Practical training is one of the cornerstones of academic programs at Department of Chemistry. It reflects the core of UQU and College of Applied Sciences' general objectives of pursuing high quality for education and science in concert with the related community institutions. Training aims to give students an insight into job market during their academic years; and equips them with important practical skills in their various chemistry branches, including: abiding to work ethics, encouraging creativity, and teamwork skills. Those skills serve as early experience to help graduates usher into job market.
