Shantou university chemistry department

This major includes two training directions: material chemistry and analytical science. In order to meet the needs of opening up and economic development, it is a comprehensive specialty integrating scientific research, new material development and modern testing technology. Chemical materials and analytical science have penetrated into all fields of national economy and human life. It combines the theoretical knowledge and research methods of various chemical disciplines and some non-chemical disciplines, and studies many frontier and cross-cutting problems faced by chemistry, which is scientific, applicable and marginal. This major trains students to systematically master comprehensive and solid chemical theoretical knowledge, have strong experimental operation skills, understand the development and application prospects of related new technologies in this discipline, have preliminary scientific research, development and organization management capabilities, strong computer application capabilities and strong self-study capabilities.

Graduates are suitable to work in teaching, scientific research, foreign trade, commodity inspection, quality inspection, customs supervision, environmental monitoring and protection and related government departments.

Training mode in line with international standards: implementing large-scale training mode. In addition to mathematics and applied mathematics majors, students study basic science courses in a unified way after entering school. One year later, according to the intention and comprehensive quality, we will train different majors, take basic professional courses, and take interdisciplinary courses in senior grades.

This student-oriented training mode focuses on broadening the professional foundation and interdisciplinary direction, strengthening students' critical thinking, cultivating students' comprehensive ability and innovative ability, leaving room for talents to develop, enabling students to have a foundation for further study and choose broader employment channels.

Dr. Pan Yugang, an international master of quantum chemistry and a tenured professor at Boston College in the United States, praised the large-scale cultivation model. In 2005, he was invited to give an introduction to chemistry to students in our college.

Teachers with international education background: The Faculty of Science has initially established a team of teachers with international education background. Among 78 full-time teachers, 37 teachers have experience in going abroad or studying abroad; There are 5/kloc-0 teachers with doctorates, of which 22 teachers have obtained doctorates in the United States, Britain, Germany and other places.

Internationalized academic achievements: In recent years, the number of papers published by teachers of science colleges in SCI journals has increased rapidly. In 2007, 75 papers were included in SCI, 64 of which were published in international authoritative journals in English. The College has successively undertaken and completed more than 70 national "973" and "863" plans, national outstanding youth fund, national natural science fund and provincial and ministerial projects. The combination of teaching and scientific research has established a modern teaching concept of changing from "teaching" teaching with one-way knowledge transfer to "research" teaching with emphasis on innovative education.

Regularization of international academic exchanges: actively promote international academic exchanges, invite internationally renowned scholars to visit the school, and offer students a series of lectures such as "Science Lecture Hall", "Entering Modern Mathematics", "Science Salon" and "Scientific Social Life". A group of well-known scholars at home and abroad gave lectures at the school, which increased students' knowledge and broadened their academic horizons. At the same time, actively send teachers and students to exchange overseas and hold international academic conferences to make international academic exchanges regular.

Relying on the credit system platform, the College of Science adheres to the training policy of "broad caliber, thick foundation and emphasis on practice", pays attention to the cultivation of English application ability, strengthens computer application training, encourages and guides students to actively participate in practice and scientific research, improves students' practical ability and innovation ability, and continuously improves the teaching quality of the college; Students have won many awards in the national mathematical modeling competition and the "Challenge Cup" extracurricular scientific and technological academic competition for college students.

The graduates trained by the Faculty of Science have a solid foundation and strong adaptability, and are well received by the society.

As for which is better, I personally think there are advantages and disadvantages. You'd better choose the data comprehensively from all aspects. If you take the postgraduate entrance examination, 5- 10 people in the School of Science of Shantou University get the notice from foreign universities every year.
