Modern chemistry lies at the crossroads of several scientific disciplines. It overlaps with physics and biology and, in many cases, bridges the gap between fundamental scientific research and technological applications. Chemists not only develop new drugs, but also design and create advanced “smart” materials that form the basis of state-of-the-art technologies.
Chemistry is the science of matter. It provides graduates with a deep understanding of the chemical processes underlying modern microelectronic and high-tech industries. This knowledge gives chemists a significant advantage when applying for positions involving the development of new manufacturing techniques and the improvement of existing processes.
In contrast to common misconceptions, chemistry graduates are employed across a wide range of roles in the high-tech industry, far beyond the traditional areas of organic and analytical chemistry. The training acquired in the research laboratories of the Faculty of Chemistry equips graduates with versatile skills, and the expertise gained during graduate studies closely matches the needs of prospective employers.
More than 2,630 students have graduated from the Faculty of Chemistry, including 1,691 bachelor’s degree holders, 543 M.Sc. graduates, and 398 Ph.D. graduates. Many alumni work at the forefront of the Israeli high-tech and defense industries. Others hold positions at universities in Israel and around the world, in research institutes, and in public and governmental organizations.
