WELCOME TO THE DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY, IIUM
The IIUM Department of Chemistry was established in 2013 and is a supportive and innovative community whose common goal is to impart knowledge and to mentor the next generation of the best students who will define the scientific frontiers for the ummah.
The Department of Chemistry shares the IIUM’s Strategic Direction of Humanising Education through Maqasid Shariah (MAS) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to transform the IIUM community in becoming a wholesome individual accountable to themselves, to Allah, to the society and to all mankind. Thus, integrating these values with the latest chemical findings; developing materials with new properties, taking part in sustainable energy development, unraveling the complexity of natural systems, detection of diseases to name a few, allows IIUM Chemistry to produce a balanced graduates with paragons of virtue.

This two-days carnival is the first fun educational learning event for primary, secondary schools and also university students in Pahang area. This event was officiated by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nik Mazlan bin Mamat, Deputy Campus Director, IIUM Kuantan campus. Organized by Department of Chemistry, Kulliyyah of Science, IIUM Kuantan, with the theme “ iCHEM 4 YOU “, this event was successfully attract almost 1000 participants around Kuantan.
Lots of fun activities have been organized in this event which included Amazing CSI (by JKP), demonstration by Petrosains Playsmart, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Chemistry (by chemistry students) and Make-Your-Own (MYO) Perfume! (by Elliadore) activities. Apart from that, we also have science exhibitions by LYNAS, PROTON, JKM, Jabatan Alam Sekitar, Lembaga Getah, Lembaga Perlesenan Atom, Merck, Permulalab and Interscience. More exciting activities includes Cheminnovator and Jabir Hayyan Quiz Competitions especially for secondary school students. Last but not least, a career talk for university students by Petronas, UiTM and JKP representative.
