BA/BS in Applied Chemistry

The Applied Chemistry programme trains engineering-oriented graduates in chemistry and chemical engineering. Students build a foundation in chemical theory, basic laboratory technique and the design of processes, while developing innovation, practical engineering ability and an international perspective. The programme is recognised as a provincial first-class major. Graduates can pursue product research and development, production and quality control, process improvement, product testing and production management. Typical employers include chemical and fine chemical companies, pharmaceutical producers, research institutes, schools and administrative departments, where applied chemical knowledge is needed. Laboratory and engineering exercises give students hands-on experience with process design and quality control before they enter industry. Students also study analytical methods that help them judge the quality of products and the performance of production lines.
