When entering the Chemistry program, undergraduates can choose between the Bachelor degree and the Teacher Teaching degree, or graduate in both. Either way, students can apply for graduate programs at the UFV or other higher education institutions.

Bachelors in Chemistry can work mainly in industries, universities and research institutions. In industry, they can act in the study, planning, development, manufacture and treatment of chemical products; in chemical analyses and quality control.

Teaching Training graduates acquire a solid and extensive academic education in contents of varied chemistry fields, and they are able to teach Chemistry in high schools, and Sciences, in elementary grades. Bachelors in Chemistry can also apply for teaching positions at higher education Institutions. During the program, students can enrich their academic education through scientific initiation projects, provided by CNPq and FAPEMIG scholarship, training in the UFV laboratories, or in other institutions and industries. The curriculum comprises a set number of hours designated for various activities, such as internal and external scientific events, seminars, symposiums and congresses.

The faculty of the Chemistry Department are all full-time PhD professors. The Department coordinates the graduate program in Agrochemistry, in Master’s and PhD Degrees, pioneering in this field, developing research in analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry. The chemistry department also counts on well equipped laboratories to support these activities.

The Ministry of Education (MEC) evaluated the program as “good” in relation to classrooms, teaching laboratories, library, and faculty. The UFV Chemistry program and its undergraduates also obtained very good grades in the National Program Examination set by the National Education Council. The Chemistry program started in 1972, with the Teaching Degree Program (recognized by Decree/MEC N. 701/81); later, in 1982, the Bachelor Degree Program was incorporated and recognized by Decree/MEC N. 405/82).

Add to this range of masters graduates of other related areas above and has a demand which is around one hundred and twenty candidates currently available and certainly interested in your qualification profissional.O PPG-FIS began in March 1999, and is accredited by the Federal Council of Education by Opinion no. 118/99 – CES / CNE and aims at the training of human resources for
teaching, scientific research and technology or other related activities. PPG-FIS was a consequence of positive results obtained by an UFAM / UFSCar associated with the experience, whether in offering courses at the postgraduate level stricto sensu, is the guidance of Masters dissertations and theses of doctorate.

Chemistry Federal University of Bahia was established in 1958 as a supplement, then the Magnificent Rector Professor Dr. Edgard Rego dos Santos.
In Newsletter No 22 August 1958 is recorded that on July 14, 1958, the Magnificent Rector, Professor Dr. Edgard Rego dos Santos, has notified the University Council, on 26.06.58, duly authorized by the Trustees, signed with Sir. Minister of Education and Culture, Professor Dr. Paschoal Carlos Magno, an agreement for installation of the Institute of Chemistry in Bahia. For its Director was invited to Professor Dr. Claudio Costa Neto, the National School of Chemistry, University of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro who has little time in cargo.Os Teachers who formed the core trainer of the Institute of Chemistry originated in Courses : Bachelor and Graduate School of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters; Polytechnic School of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Pharmacy, Pharmacy, and Laboratory of Geochemistry, School of Geology.

On 19.02.63 was approved by the University Council, chaired by the Magnificent Rector, Professor Dr. Alberico Fraga, the Rules of Procedure of the Institute of Chemistry.

Subsequently, were elected as heads of sections: Prof. Raphael de Menezes Silva Selling to the section of General and Inorganic Chemistry, Prof.. Espinheiro Carlos de Sá, the section of Physical Chemistry, Dr. Adolfo Gonçalves Diniz, professor of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, for the section of Analytical Chemistry, Prof.. Jose Carlos Reis, for the section of Organic Chemistry and Professor. Elsimar Metzker Coutinho, for the section of Biological Chemistry.

These sections formed the nucleus of what later, with the university reform, would turn in their Departments.

Section of Biological Chemistry, for their characteristics, became part of the Institute of Health Sciences, and Department of Biochemistry.
In December 1966, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) granted a sum of U.S. $ 210,000.00 (two hundred and ten thousand dollars) for the installation of basic institutions, and indicated a committee formed by teachers Spínola Antônio Celso Costa, Elsimar Metzker Coutinho and Raphael de Menezes Silva Selling to discuss the implementation of Administrative Reform at the University of Bahia.

In March 1968, was presented to the board of the University Council a resolution establishing rules for the Graduate Course in Chemistry, Masters-level and was an organized procedure for this course by the Commission of Graduate of the Institute of Chemistry consists of the Teachers Raphael de Menezes Silva Selling (Director), Tripoli Gaudenzi (Deputy Director), Antonio Costa and Celso Spínola Elsimar Metzker Coutinho.
