Chemistry is a basic subject at the molecular level  researching matter composition, structure, properties, and application, and plays a main role in the understanding of the world, the transformation of the world and the creation of the world, which has been at the centre of modern scientific research. Since the 21st century, with the continuous development and progress of science and technology, the research object of chemistry goes beyond the molecule, does into the material, device, cells, and even whole organs, so it becomes the important section of life science, materials science, energy science, environmental science, information science, and defense and security science. Therefore, choosing this major is to choose the challenge in the future, and to have an expansive prospect in future.

In chemistry major, advanced chemical talents are cultivated, who possess the primary chemical knowledge, elemental theory and fundamental kills and methods. They are engaged in scientific research, teaching, technology and related management work in the areas of chemistry and in the field of the related chemical scientific researches. In an addition, and the specialized students in this major are trained, who have talents of scientific research, application research and technologic management, after they obtain scientific thought and scientifically experimental training.

In this major, the main courses contain inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, structural chemistry, fundamental chemical engineering, and so on. The primary professional experiments include basic chemical experiments, which consist of experiments of inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry, professional ones, and comprehensive experiments.
