Undergraduate Studies
The discipline of chemistry entered the top 1 ‰ of ESI global rankings in 2018, making it the first discipline at Beijing University of Chemical Technology to enter the top 1 ‰ globally. In recent years, the ESI ranking of the discipline of chemistry has continued to steadily increase, ranking 40th globally in May 2024. There are several options for undergraduate enrollment, including chemistry (top tier foundation), chemistry (dual bachelor's degree in chemistry and student engineering), and science experimental classes (green chemistry). Candidates can choose to apply for different majors based on their interests and purposes,
Chemistry (Foundation Top notch) is the first training base for outstanding students in our university's basic disciplines, and currently the only selected base. It implements a dual college system of academy+college training mode, conducts international exchange visits during the summer, and offers cutting-edge research and advanced master's courses for senior students to further their studies in the discipline. The university leans towards top-notch classes in terms of policy guarantees, faculty allocation, and graduate recommendation. Chemistry (Foundation Top Class) focuses on cultivating academic interests, critical thinking, self-learning ability, and scientific research ability, aiming to cultivate world-class scientists and leading talents in the field of chemistry for national strategic development.
Chemistry (dual bachelor's degree in chemistry and biotechnology) aims to meet the demand of society for interdisciplinary fields and cultivate innovative talents with interdisciplinary skills. A hierarchical and interconnected talent cultivation system for chemistry majors has been formed, providing broad development space for students' interest cultivation, specialty discovery, and career planning. After meeting the graduation requirements, students will be awarded both a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Bioengineering. Cross disciplinary talents who can engage in scientific research, technological innovation, engineering design, product development, and other related fields at the intersection of chemistry and biology after graduation.
The Science Experimental Class (Green Chemistry) is a comprehensive enrollment program that includes applied chemistry, energy chemistry, and resource chemistry. The majors of Applied Chemistry, Energy Chemistry, and Resource Chemistry are designed to meet the needs of social and economic development, and cultivate innovative talents with composite application skills.
Graduate studies
Focus on cultivating graduate students' patriotism, innovation ability, and sense of social responsibility. Strengthen the construction of graduate courses and professional degrees, improve the quality standards for graduate education and degree granting, and establish an international exchange platform for graduate students. Strengthen the promotion, education, and guidance of academic ethics and research integrity, and prevent and resolutely handle academic misconduct among graduate students. Strictly implement the responsibility system for graduate supervisors and fulfill the fundamental task of cultivating students' moral character through supervisors. Following the principles of first-class standards, advanced systems, classified evaluation, and dynamic monitoring, we adhere to the concept of service demand, quality improvement, and connotation development, and construct a quality assurance system for graduate education that is led by the school, with the training unit as the main body, and with the participation of graduate students and supervisors. We strengthen quality awareness, form a unique graduate education model, and have representative achievements with display.
(1) Scientifically develop training programs and establish curriculum systems. Tailored training programs and plans based on professional needs, and developed a reasonable curriculum system. The curriculum emphasizes the combination of theory and practice, theoretical foundation and cutting-edge disciplines, and depth and breadth; Strengthen the scientification, rationalization, and internationalization of course content and scope, offer open and interdisciplinary elective courses, expand the space for graduate students to choose courses independently, enhance the comprehensive quality and ability cultivation of graduate students, and broaden their international perspective.
(2) Develop effective quality assurance measures for the graduate training process. Adhere to the principle of student-centered cultivation, and implement a training model that combines the mentor responsibility system and the mentor led guidance teacher group responsibility system. Standardize the assessment mechanisms for graduate thesis proposal, mid-term, and defense, increase the proportion of blind review for graduate thesis, and strictly monitor and control the training process; Reasonably evaluate the research achievements and abilities of graduate students based on the periodicity and lifespan of scientific research.
(3) Establish a multidimensional and multi-level training model. Relying on national and provincial-level scientific research platforms, integrating the research and development of national level major projects into the training process of graduate students; Integration of industry and education, relying on applied innovation talent training bases such as Anqing Institute and school enterprise joint experimental bases, to strengthen the training of professional degree graduate students; Expand international education channels and continuously improve the internationalization level of graduate education; Encourage graduate students to participate in various academic conferences and exchanges, and create a lively academic atmosphere.
(4) Strengthen the academic ideological and moral education of graduate students, and cultivate innovative talents with both moral integrity and professional competence. Cultivate innovative thinking and eliminate the research model of following the trend or following orders; Pay attention to the standardized management and establishment of academic ethics for graduate students, and establish a good research integrity style that respects science, data, and seeks truth from facts; Strengthen the ideological and political education of graduate students, and integrate correct worldviews, outlooks on life, and values into daily learning and scientific research.
