Department of Chemistry

The Chemistry Department of East Yangon University was originally established in 1999 on the Botahtaung campus of Yangon University. In 2000, it was relocated to the Hledan campus of Yangon University. Initially, the university was known as Thanlyin College, but it was later renamed East Yangon University in the same year. The department was led by its first Head and Professor, Daw May Saw Lwin, from 2000 to 2005, with Daw Khin Win Kyi serving as Associate Professor. At its inception, the department approximately comprised 60 faculty and staff members. Over the years, its leadership has passed through the hands of several distinguished professors: Dr Phway Phway (2005–2011), Daw Phyu Phyu Thein (2011–2012), Dr Khin Cho Tin (2012–2016), Dr San San Oo (2016–2019), Dr Tin May San (2019–2021), Dr Myo Myo Myat (2021–2024), Dr Myint Myint May (May 2024–January 2025). Since January 2025, the current Head of the Department has been Dr. Khin Saw Oo. Since its establishment, the department has consistently degree programmes such as offered Bachelor of Science (BSc) and BSc (Honors) degrees. In 2007, it introduced the Master of Science (MSc) programme, followed shortly by the Master of Research (MRes.) degree in 2008. However, the MRes. program has not been offered in recent academic years.
