Master of Science (M.Sc.)
Applied Chemistry
Master of Science in Applied Chemistry offers new categories such as applied analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, bio-based products, and applied materials. Additionally, the knowledge and technical skills of students and staff will be experienced with industries under supported by higher education for industry (Hi-Fi) program collaborated with industries especially in southern border of Thailand to meet the industry’s requirements. This program also follows progressivism study, active teaching methodology, scientific research activities, and life-long learning skills,to meet SAT, PSU and the national strategies, corresponding to industries and community needs and creating values, and economic and society impacts.
