Program Outline

Pharmaceutical Engineering involves the systematic design, technology, quality and operation of process systems for the production of pharmaceuticals. It is a key engineering discipline, which combines knowledge of basic chemistry, pharmacy, and biology with chemical engineering principles.

Educational Objectives

The aim is to bring up application-oriented engineers. And these engineers can adapt to the requirements of high-quality engineering and technical personnel due to the development of the national economy, science technology, and society. After graduating, these engineers can satisfy the production practice demanding in Pharmaceutical Engineering, especially in the medicine, pesticides and other industries. And they have solid professional knowledge, strong engineering ability ,innovative consciousness, and good teamwork spirit. What is the important aim is that they are enable to engage in production management,technology development，process and equipment design，technological innovation and operating management, etc.

Educational Requirement

Students of this major mainly learn basic theories of Pharmacy as well as basic theories and knowledge of Pharmaceutical Engineering. They must master professional theories knowledge of chemical units operation, Medicinal Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Technology. And have training on chemistry experiment technology, engineering practice, computer application and engineering design methods. They have the ability on producing medicine, engineering design, exploiting and developing new drugs.

Upon successful completion of the Bachelor’s degree in Applied Chemistry Programme, students will:

1. Master basic technical knowledge, skills and engineering methods of Pharmaceutical Engineering; understanding new products, new technologies, new processes and the developing trend of the technology in the field of Pharmaceutical Engineering.

2. Possess the ability to solve practical problems in Pharmaceutical Engineering by employing appropriate theories and practice methods.And acquire systematic training in the area of technology in drug manufacturing, workshop design, technology development, process and equipment design，technological innovation.
