Faculty of Chemistry and Petroleum Science

The first steps in establishing this prestigious university were taken in March 1972, based on a joint treaty between the governments of Iran and France. The Council for the Development of Higher Education in its ninety-fourth session finally approved the establishment of Bu-Ali Sina University in Hamedan on December 6, 1973, which was then officially established in 1974 and began its educational activities in 1976 by admitting about 200 students at associate and bachelor's degrees in four complexes: agricultural extension, health sciences, environmental sciences, and educational sciences. Bu-Ali Sina University was established in December 1973 with the issuance of a license from the Council for the Development of Higher Education, and in 1976 it began accepting a full-time master's degree program in chemistry education. With the victory of the glorious Islamic Revolution in February 1978 and the change in strategic policies in higher education, the work continued with the admission of undergraduate students in the fields of pure chemistry, applied chemistry, and chemistry secretaryship.

In 1980, student admission to the master's degree program began. In 1994, student admission to the doctoral degree program began in the fields of organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and applied chemistry.
