Good day!

The Department have already sent an email to those BQ applicants who are admitted in the program. Those who received an email are advised to reply on or before July 7, 2026, SIGNIFYING interest to enroll in the program. Failure to do so will mean forfeiture of the slot and opening it to the next applicant in rank.

Likewise, admitted applicants who are already enrolled or screened in other programs (as shown by the enrollment system) will be automatically removed from the list and their slot be opened to the next applicant in rank.

The admitted and confirmed applicants will be tagged as screened and pre-registered in the system. Kindly wait for the tagging and update using the student portal. Thank you.

CHEMISTRY INNOVATION TAKES CENTER STAGE AT THE 21st BICOL UNIVERSITY CHEMISTRY COLLOQUIUM

The brightest young minds in chemistry gathered on May 18, 2026 at the Bicol University Food Innovation and Commercialization Center for the highly anticipated 21st Bicol University Chemistry Colloquium on Student Researches (21BCC)!

Anchored on the inspiring theme, “Chemistry-based researches… from bioresources to products for sustainable materials, food, and health,” the event showcased groundbreaking student researches transforming local bioresources into innovative solutions for sustainability, nutrition, health, and advanced materials.

Students proudly presented their studies through Oral and Poster Presentations under four exciting research themes:
🧪 Food Chemistry
🌿 Natural Products Chemistry
♻️ Environmental and Sustainable Chemistry
💻 Computational Chemistry

The event officially opened with welcome remarks from Dr. Samuel C. Bobiles, Chairman of the Department of Chemistry, followed by an inspiring message from Prof. Jocelyn E. Serrano, Dean of BUCS.

Distinguished experts from academia and industry served as evaluators, recognizing outstanding student researches that demonstrated scientific excellence, innovation, and relevance to community development.
