Bachelor of Science (Chemistry)

Chemistry is regarded as the central science because of its role in connecting different subjects and its importance in interdisciplinary research, such as chemical biology, materials science, energy, agricultural development, drug discovery and so on.
For the teaching, the comprehensive 4 years credit-based bachelor curriculum in our Department covers a wide range of chemistry aspects and related disciplines with up-to-date literature materials for their selection. Generally it included the four basic chemistry areas as the core courses (organic, inorganic, analytical and physical chemistry), elective courses included but not limited to medicinal chemistry, polymer chemistry, chemical biology, energy and materials chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and environmental chemistry, which are closely related to the frontiers of current research and the needs of our society. Moreover, in order to encourage inter-disciplinary research, the students are motivated to study other science related subjects in the first year of admission, included but not limited to biology, physic and engineering.
Adhering to our university’s motto of "Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship," the Chemistry Department focuses on cultivating students’ innovation, critical thinking and ability for interdisciplinary cooperation. The curriculum design emphasizes not only the basic theory, but also practical training particularly in the areas of new medicine, new energy, and new materials. Undergraduates are strongly encouraged to participate in various research programs supervised by professors to cultivate their creativity, practical skills and ability for interdisciplinary cooperation. The department maintains a wide array of sophisticated instrumentation necessary for modern chemical research and teaching.
Therefore, good chemistry training continues to play a substantial role in the rapid development of science and technology in this century and provides students with good prospects in industry, academia, business as well as civil organizations.
