我就读于化学院 I am a student at the School/Faculty/Department of Chemistry.

Explanation:
To translate this sentence without looking at the rest of the context of your full text, first understand the meaning of JiuDu. Traditionally it means becoming a deciple of a guru (a knowledgeable teacher). Nowadays it simply means becoming a student at a school, a faculty, an educational institution or department (a knowledge dispensary). Then consider the usage in the target language: Please refer to the two web sites cited below for "a student at the" .... Having made sure that this is also how other people say it, then a decision for the translation is made.

sorry, i forgot to put an article before chemistry department/school....

so it should be:
I study in a Chemistry Department/Chemistry School.
I study in the Chemitry Department /Chemsitry School.
(either one is good, but slightly different...)
