Department Awards
The Department of Chemistry bestows research, teaching and service (the latter for non-academic staff) awards to recognise and honour our academic and non-academic staff for their excellence in research, teaching, and service. We also recognize our outstanding students (both undergraduates and graduate students). The awards are categorised into:
