Background
The Department of Chemistry was part of the original Faculty of Science, opening in 1964. From 1975-1980 classes ceased, as did all other forms of higher education in Cambodia. From 1980-1989, the department reopened as part of a teacher-training college, and chemistry was taught to future chemistry teachers, to serve the needs in high schools. In 1990, a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry was developed, with a new curriculum focusing on applied chemistry, to prepare students for a broader range of careers in the field. The department has received significant technical assistance from various volunteers from Ireland, America, France, Sweden and Australia. This has resulted in the development of new lab courses, the donation of new equipment and the establishment of links with international universities and organizations.
