The student studies a preparatory year in which she learns the general English language and the academic, mathematics, statistics, computer skills and its applications, education and research skills, physical and health education, and communication skills.

First year

(Preparatory Year- Scientific Track)
Student studies the basics of science in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Then join the Chemistry department to begin studying the basic requirements of specialization and basic courses from other departments.

Second Year

The student studies many specialized courses, which then qualifies her for specialization in one of the two tracks in the department of chemistry.

Third Year

The student studies the specialized courses for the track that has been recorded, as the chemistry of petroleum and petrochemicals, electrochemistry, the chemistry of transitional elements, many other specialized courses and some elective courses. And the student is enrolled in summer training to enable her to engage in the future field work.

Fourth year

The student completes the study of the specialized courses for the track, such as solid-state chemistry, surface chemistry and catalysis, quantum chemistry, and many basic courses, many elective courses and the research project. Fifth year
