About Our University
Welcome from the Head of School
The School of Chemistry at the University of the Punjab
stands as one of the oldest and most distinguished
centres of chemical sciences in South Asia. Since our
founding in June 1923 as the University Chemical
Laboratories, we have nurtured generations of scientists
who have gone on to lead in academia, industry, and
research organisations worldwide.
Our commitment remains unchanged: to provide rigorous,
innovative, and values-driven education in the chemical
sciences, supported by world-class faculty, modern
research infrastructure, and a culture of intellectual
curiosity. Whether you are a prospective student, a
researcher, an industry partner, or a fellow academic, we
welcome you to explore what the School of Chemistry has
to offer.
Prof. Dr. Adeel Afzal, Professor & Head.
Four degree programmes from BS to PhD across six specialised academic sections, taught by more than thirty five highly qualified faculty members with national and international research experience.
