Program Overview

Introduction to the Master's Program in Materials and Chemical Engineering

The Master's program in Materials and Chemical Engineering at Nanjing University of Technology focuses on the application of research in the fields of chemical engineering, materials science, and the intersection of these two disciplines. The program aims to cultivate high-level, application-oriented, and compound engineering technical and management personnel.

Program Overview

The program is based on the university's strong foundation in chemical engineering and technology, and materials science and engineering. These disciplines have been ranked as A and B+ in the national discipline assessment, and are the top-ranked disciplines in Jiangsu Province. The program is supported by five national-level platforms, including the National Key Laboratory of Materials Chemistry and Engineering, and the National Engineering Research Center for Special Separation Membranes.

Training Objectives and Goals

The program's training objectives are to cultivate high-level, application-oriented, and compound engineering technical and management personnel who possess a solid foundation in materials and chemical engineering, and are familiar with industry standards and regulations. The program aims to produce graduates who can work independently in engineering planning, design, implementation, research, development, and management, and who possess good professional ethics and a strong sense of social responsibility.

Duration and Credits

The program is offered in both full-time and part-time modes. The full-time program typically takes three years to complete, with a maximum duration of five years. The part-time program can take up to six years to complete. Students are required to complete a total of 32 credits, including 24 credits of coursework, 2 credits of academic lectures/reports, and 6 credits of professional practice.
