Welcome to the Department of Chemistry at SRM University-AP. Our mission is to foster a world-class learning environment that nurtures creativity, curiosity, and innovation in research. We offer comprehensive BSc and MSc programmes with a unique research-focused curriculum that trains students in a diverse range of chemical disciplines, including analytical, biological, environmental, inorganic, materials, organic, physical, and theoretical chemistry.

Our programme offers students the opportunity to work alongside our esteemed faculty on cutting-edge problems in their field of study. The knowledge and skills gained through the programme will greatly benefit the professional development of each student. We are a department passionate about conducting top-tier scientific research and offer a PhD programme focused on innovative and environmentally-friendly research. Our faculty consists of highly experienced and motivated young researchers who have earned their PhDs from the world's top institutions and have been trained in the best research laboratories worldwide. In a short amount of time, we have established state-of-the-art computational, material, organic synthesis, and colloidal chemistry laboratories. Currently, our department is conducting research projects funded by DST SERB, NSM, TARE, Ramanujan faculty, and INSPIRE faculty. Additionally, we are collaborating with Amaraja Battery Center on a project worth 1 Crore.

We warmly welcome bright and motivated students to join the Department of Chemistry as undergraduate, postgraduate, or research students. We also encourage highly talented young researchers to apply and collaborate with us as we strive to achieve significant milestones in our field.
