1. Overview of professional field
The master program for chemical engineering has the right to confer the Master of Engineering. The subject is derived from daily chemical, greasy chemical, industrial fermentation, fine chemical and relevant majors. The fine chemical master program was among master programs of the first batch approved by the State Council in 1981 and the fine chemical major was listed as ministry-level key subject in 1988. The first-level master program for chemical engineering and technology was established in 2005 and the first-level doctorate program for chemical engineering and technology was established in 2010. After the school running for several years, it has fostered thousands of senior professional talents for the light chemical field in China, particularly fine chemical, daily chemical, surfactant and related industries. Thus, it is called the cradle of talents in the light chemical industry in China.
2. Educational objectives
Professional master degree is a professional degree relating to the job qualification in the engineering field. It places emphasis on the engineering applications and foster talents for industrial and mining enterprises and engineering construction units, particularly applied talents, interdisciplinary high-level engineering and technical talents and engineering management talents for state-owned large and medium enterprises.
Uphold the basic line, guidelines and policies of CPC, love the motherland, observe laws and disciplines, boast a good professional ethics and dedication, have scientific, precise and pragmatic learning attitude and working style and keep healthy physically and mentally.
Master fundamental theories, advanced techniques and means of the field engaged and the independent capacity of engineering design, implementation, research, development and management in one direction.
Master one foreign language.
