Bachelor's Degree in Applied Chemistry

Program Outline

Applied Chemistry is a four-year interdisciplinary program of study in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Applied Chemistry is the scientific field for understanding basic chemical properties of materials and for producing materials with well-controlled functions playing a significant role in the national economy and the people’s daily life. Applied Chemistry provides basic knowledge in light industry, synthesis principles and production technology of the fine chemicals, materials for energy and environment, catalytic process, etc. The curriculum is designed to train qualified chemistry graduates with the necessary skills to work in industry or to pursue higher degree studies in Chemistry or a related field.

Educational Goal

This program aims to provide students with a firm foundation in Applied Chemistry that will help students acquire the basic and professional knowledge, understanding, strong engineering skills and attitudes required to achieve personal development and find suitable employment in various research institutes, laboratories and commercial, government departments, and industrial and educational sectors.

Learning Outcomes

This program will provide students with a general core of Chemistry together with a range of Applied Chemistry options. A thorough grounding in theoretical aspects will provide students with the skills, knowledge and problem-solving abilities which required for a successful career in industry, teaching, research and other careers where scientific skills are valued.

Upon successful completion of the Bachelor’s degree in Applied Chemistry Programme, students should be able to:

1. Grasp the basic theory and basic knowledge of Mathematics, Physics and other aspects.

2. Grasp Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry and basic knowledge of Physics, Chemistry and chemical engineering drawing, basic principles and basic experimental skills.

3. Be familiar with national policies on intellectual property right, industries and chemistry-related companies, etc. And understand the societal, global and ethical impact of chemical processes.

4. Understand the forefront of chemical theory, application prospects as well as the latest developments related to the chemical industry development.

5. Grasp certain specialized chemical knowledge of the professional field, and has been carried out pioneering research in basic training. There is a wide range of knowledge, understanding of the development trends and prospects in this field.

6. Grasp foreign language query data, document retrieval and can use modern information technology to obtain information which related to the basic method.

7. Having the multiple skills in writing and communication—general, technical, and laboratory writing and analysis and visualization of experimental data; having a logical communication ability to attain effective mutual understanding and creative ideas and application capabilities based on his/her personality.
