DOON UNIVERSITY, DEHRADUN
Department of Chemistry: Chemistry and Physics are the branches of
science that both study matter. However, Physics places a larger emphasis on
fundamental theory (with its deep mathematical treatment) while Chemistry
places more emphasis in combining the most important mathematical
definitions of the theory with the approach of the molecular models. Thus, it
becomes important for students to learn an interdisciplinary approach form
their future point of view.
Environmental Sciences: As per the mandate of the Supreme Court, all
academic disciplines need to run courses in environmental studies. So,
faculties arranged by SENR are used for the purpose.
Foreign Languages: Given the value addition with knowledge of foreign
languages, students often take courses in foreign languages either in the
School of Languages or the Friday lecture series at the University level allow
the students to attend the lectures.
