The development of applied chemistry stems from humanity's exploration of "how chemical laws serve practical needs". Its research scope ranges from the macroscopic industrial production processes to the microscopic molecular design, covering the entire chain from "basic research → technology development → product application". 

Difference from "pure chemistry": Pure chemistry (such as inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry) focuses on exploring the composition, structure and reaction laws of substances ("why"); applied chemistry, on the other hand, concentrates on how to utilize these laws to solve practical problems ("how to do it"), for example:

Pure chemistry studies "the catalytic mechanism of a certain catalyst", while applied chemistry studies "how to improve this catalyst to make it more efficient and stable in industrial reactions".

Pure chemistry analyzes "the composition of a certain substance", while applied chemistry develops "rapid test strips or instruments for detecting pesticide residues in food".

Core characteristics: Problem-oriented, emphasizing the transformation ability from "theory → experiment → pilot production → industrialization", and combining the scientific nature of chemistry with the practicality of engineering.

1. Physical and mental health (free from infectious diseases and without any physical or mental disorders that affect normal learning). 

2. By September 1, 2025, the applicants for the master's program should be no older than 30 years of age. 

3. Educational Requirements: As of September 1, 2025, applicants for the master's program must have a bachelor's degree. 

4. Learning ability: Applicants should possess good learning ability and academic performance. The required score for the previous stage of application for applicants is 75%, and for those applying for the Chinese Government Scholarship, it is 80%. Applicants can provide other proof of their learning ability or academic performance such as GRE, GMAT, etc. 

5. Language Requirements 

The applicant should possess the required language proficiency in both Chinese and English as per the admission criteria.

1．A copy of the personal information page of your valid passport.

The passport should be valid until October 30, 2025 at least. Applicants currently residing in mainland China must also provide a scanned copy of the currently valid visa page or residence permit page.

If the applicant does not have the passport on the time for application, the national ID can be used instead. However the passport is one of the mandatory application documents. Applicants should apply for it and provide to Admissions office as soon as possible.

2．A copy of undergraduate diploma.

Both degree and graduation certificate are asked to provide for applicants who finish the undergraduate program in China.

Graduating students can provide pre-graduation certificate, indicating the expecting time for graduate. The original undergraduate diploma must be provided for registration after admission.

3．Transcripts for each semester/academic year during undergraduate period.  

4．Recommendation letters from two professors ( associate professor or level above).

5．Study plan for Master Degree program (based on given template).

6．Chinese (HSK)/English language certificate (IELTS or TOFEL or Duolingo or PTE).

Under these circumstances, language certificate is not needed:

• Applicants who are Chinese native speakers and applying for Chinese medium majors.

• Applicants who are English native speakers and applying for English medium majors.

7．Non-criminal record (valid for six months).

8．Acceptance letter from a supervisor.

The School of Aeronautics, School of Materials Science and Engineering, School of Mechanical Engineering, School of Electronics and Information, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, School of Life Science and School of Foreign Studies require that the Master Program Applicants have to have the acceptance letter from supervisors to complete the application.

For the applicants who apply for master majors in other schools, acceptance letter is not a must and will be a bonus point.

9．Officially recognized awards, scientific research achievements (if any).

10．A copy of "Physical Examination Form for Foreigners" (valid for six months).

11．Bank statement(5000USD).

12．Other supplementary materials required.

13．Students applying for architecture or design majors shall provide one’s own art/design portfolio.
