Aims and Scope

The KAUST Chemistry (Chem) Program was established in 2010 to provide a modern, research-oriented education in chemistry. It is one of the top internationally ranked programs at KAUST. Leveraging the outstanding facilities at KAUST, the program distinguishes itself by a clear focus and strong emphasis on current research challenges related to polymers, catalysis, and nanotechnology.

Mission and Vision

The Chemistry Program at KAUST is home to world class professors that are conducting cutting edge research on the forefronts of polymers, catalysis, and nanotechnology. Our mission is to graduate highly knowledgeable and trained chemists that can excel in academic, industrial, and managerial settings. We aim to publish highly impactful research papers and patents that will strengthen the Chemistry Program international ranking among the top worldwide and empower immediate industrial translation to support the Kingdom’s 2030 Vision.

​The Master’s Degree (M.Sc.) is awarded upon successful completion of a minimum of 36 credit hours. Students are expected to complete the M.Sc. degree within 3 to 4 semesters (including one summer semester, i.e., 12 to 18 months in total). The M.Sc. degree is offered for traditional full-time students and could be a terminal M.Sc., as well as a gateway to the Ph.D. program. All M.Sc. students are expected to complete a capstone experience that includes thesis preparation and oral defense. The non-thesis option is not supported in the Chem Program.
