Due to the increasing demand for high-level professionals in Taiwan's chemical-related industries, such as the technology sector, pharmaceutical companies, and traditional chemical factories from Europe, the US, and Japan, which are progressively establishing operations in Taiwan, the need for skilled talent continues to grow.
Over the years, our department’s faculty has been dedicated to both teaching and research, cultivating a significant number of outstanding professionals in the field of chemistry. Some students also opt to further their studies abroad, continuing to pursue doctoral degrees.
In consideration of domestic industry needs and student employment prospects, our department officially established the Undergraduate EMI Program in the 2021 academic year. This program aims to cultivate internationally competitive chemistry professionals in Taiwan, enhancing the employability and academic advancement of local students. Furthermore, the program will continue to recruit exceptional foreign faculty members who are native English speakers to collaborate with our current faculty. Together, they will guide our students towards the internationalization of the department, embracing the opportunities brought about by cross-cultural exchanges and globalization.
Students enroll in EMI program are taught by an international faculty and receive instruction in English for all core courses offered by the department. These courses include General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Analytical Chemistry, along with their associated laboratory courses. All course materials and exams are conducted in English, while other academic requirements follow the same standards as those for regular students.
We offer more than 40 courses, including topic studies and seminars, which encourage students to learn more depends on their interests. The courses are designed to enhance students’ theoretical knowledge and practical experiences. Student are encouraged to read more research papers and attend research job at professors’ lab.
Besides professional faculty we already have in the department, we still actively recruit prominent teachers from renowned universities.
Students can boost confidence and broaden horizons through interaction with professors and students from different backgrounds. Opportunities to study abroad are provided in our department which are highly encouraged.
Once freshmen entered the department, they will receive warm care from mentors. Mentors will also assist students with their academic counseling.
The department of chemistry possesses the newest teaching and research equipment and the most advanced Precision Instruments Center.
We provide a safe and clean environment for research with fume hood in our labs, preventing students from the danger of toxic chemicals.
Our university has been designated as a Key Cultivation Schools in the Ministry of Education's for the “Program on Bilingual Education for Students in College (BEST)”. In response, the Department of Chemistry established an English-taught undergraduate program in the 2021 academic year. This program offers an immersive English-language learning experience, led by distinguished scholars who deliver all courses in English. Students benefit from an international-level education without leaving the country, positioning them for seamless integration into the global community upon graduation.
Our faculty members have gained extensive experience in international team collaborations throughout their academic journeys and during their tenure at the university. Many of our alumni have successfully enrolled in prestigious universities in Europe and the U.S. and have secured lucrative job opportunities after graduation. As such, we consistently recruit distinguished chemistry scholars with international backgrounds and outstanding achievements to join our department, fostering the growth of our young students and sharing research expertise to maintain our department's strong research momentum.
Regarding overseas study opportunities, our university has always upheld a positive and encouraging educational philosophy. We provide generous scholarships to enable students to focus on their academic and professional growth while studying abroad.
