Chemistry is one of the most important basic disciplines. Chemistry has a strong correlation with many fields, including chemistry in life, chemistry in daily life and chemistry in the environment. Chemical reactions take place all the time around us, and chemistry is closely related to human beings and human activities.
Chemistry, like physics, is the basic subject of natural science. Chemistry is a natural subject based on experiments. Chemistry involves many fields, not only our food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable from chemistry, but also chemistry permeates many disciplines such as physics, biology and geography, which also promotes the development of other disciplines and technologies.
Chemistry mainly studies the nature, composition, structure and changes of substances, as well as the interaction between substances, understands the structure and properties of substances, develops new reaction and synthesis technologies, and provides materials with various functions. For example, the improvement of human basic necessities, the development of "two bombs and one satellite", the development of new medical technology and the analysis of DNA sequences are all closely related to the progress of chemistry.
The basic courses of chemistry major include: inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, instrumental analysis, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, polymer science, structural chemistry, nano-functional materials, and experimental courses such as inorganic chemistry experiment, analytical chemistry experiment, instrumental analysis experiment, organic chemistry experiment and physical chemistry experiment.
There are many research directions in chemistry, and the courses offered by different schools will be slightly different.
Taking Wuhan University as an example, the compulsory courses for chemistry major are:
Inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry, structural chemistry, chemical experiment safety technology, inorganic chemistry experiment, analytical chemistry experiment, physical chemistry experiment, organic chemistry experiment, molecular simulation experiment, chemical engineering foundation, chemical engineering basic experiment, comprehensive chemistry experiment, etc.
Elective courses in chemistry major include: biochemistry, introduction to polymer science, organic spectral analysis, intermediate organic chemistry, intermediate inorganic chemistry, intermediate physical chemistry, modern analytical chemistry, material chemistry, surface chemistry, bio-inorganic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, introduction to chemical biology, organic synthetic chemistry, chemical separation technology, energy chemistry, functional polymers, quantum chemistry, industrial electrochemistry, modern electrochemistry, polymer synthesis and characterization, etc.
The training goal of chemistry specialty is to cultivate talents with good humanistic quality, social responsibility, strong innovation consciousness and practical ability, master basic knowledge, basic theory and basic skills of chemistry, be healthy physically and mentally, and be competent for scientific research and teaching in chemistry and related fields.
The academic system of chemistry major is generally four years, and the bachelor of science degree is awarded after graduation.
The main employment direction includes the following aspects:
1, technical personnel engaged in process test, industrial design and production technology organization of chemical products production. The chemical industry is the foundation of many industries' development and occupies an important position in the national economy. It is the basic industry and pillar industry of the country. Although the development of the chemical industry has been sluggish in recent years, it can still provide many jobs and earn a good income in terms of the size of the existing whole industry.
2. Primary and secondary schools or education and training institutions in China are engaged in the teaching of chemistry teachers, which is the first choice for most chemistry graduates in normal universities. In recent years, the training industry is now in a stage of rapid development. Whether online or offline, entering training institutions is also an option.
3. Students who are engaged in drug research and development, pharmaceutical chemical process synthesis and drug production not only learn chemistry well, but also have certain strength in biology. Most of the jobs that ordinary undergraduates can do are auxiliary jobs. This kind of work requires higher professional skills.
4. You can also continue your studies, enter laboratories or universities in related fields in the future, and continue to engage in research or teaching in related fields.
