Training objective

Material Chemistry put focus on foster the students with multiple and practical qualifications. New material is the foundation for development of national economy. To meet the needs of 21st century economic development, the students should be with innovation spirit and practical ability, have a strong fundamental theory of chemistry, master the scientific research fields of chemistry and material chemistry, and develop the skills of new product research and development. The students are competent for research, development, production and management work in chemistry and material chemistry and related fields. They mainly study basic theory and methods of chemistry and material chemistry, methods of scientific thinking for foundation and application research, skills of doing experiments and detecting technology for materials, document retrieval, methods and skills of literature search. Overall, after four-year education, the students should have the ability to do scientific research on new polymer material, research and design for material manufacturing and processing, serve the fundamental industry with modern scientific technology of chemistry and material chemistry, technical administration and so on.

Programs

The major courses are Inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, instrumental analysis, material science, material chemistry, material physics, polymer chemistry, polymer physics, structural chemistry, chemical engineering, etc.

Employment

Material Chemistry students with a strong chemistry background can find works in a large realm. Including electronic materials, metallic materials, metallurgical chemistry, fine chemical materials, inorganic and organic materials, and other materials related to the discipline. Compared with chemistry, chemical industry and other disciplines, materials chemistry is more focused on research and development of new materials and applications. Therefore, they can also find works in some edge disciplines such as environmental, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, textiles, food, forest products, military and marine areas.
