YEARS OF STUDY, DEGREEGRANTING ANDGRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
4 years with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
Minimum credit requirements: 163 credits for in-class learning, and 8 credits for extracurricular activities.
In addition, the students are required to complete the military training, pass the national CET-4 exam, and meet the National Standard for College Students’ Physique Health before graduation.
SUB-BRANCHING SCHEME
Sub-branching time: at the end of the first academic year.
Specialty directions of distribution: Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Engineering.
Specialty plan of distribution: In principle, above two majors are divided into half of the total number of students enrolled in the pharmacy class in that year.
Scheme of distribution: follow the principles of students voluntarily choosing and school selection.
1. Students apply for the specialty according to individual interest at the end of the first semester for preliminarily choosing.
2. The school confirms the student’s specialties according to their applications. If applicants of one specialty exceed the planned number, then applicants are sorted according to their compulsory course credits and average scores in first academic year, those who ranking beyond the scheme are adjusted to another specialty.
BASIC COURSES FOR THE PRIMARY DISCIPLINE
Introduction to Pharmacy, College Computer Basis, Electronics in Electrical Engineering, Fundamentals of Process Control, Engineering Drawing, Spectra Analysis of Organic Compounds, Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical, Human Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, etc
PROFESSIONAL CORE COURSES FOR THE PRIMARY DISCIPLINE
Principles of Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Equipment and Workshop Design, Pharmaceutical Synthetic Reactions, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Natural Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Industrial Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmaceutical Analysis, Pharmaceutical Affairs Management and Regulations, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Technology, etc.
PRACTICE TRAINING
Main practice training include: electrical engineering practice, scientific research training, process control and pharmaceutical factory practice, graduation design (thesis), social practice, etc. Specific requirements see “COURSE SELECTION REQUIREMENTS”.
COURSE SELECTION REQUIREMENTS
A. The course module Settings
The courses include 3 modules: general education courses, general platform courses and specialized courses. Among them:
General education curriculum module includes: public course for 24 credits (ideological and political theory course 13 credits, Military Theory 1 credit, College English 8 credits, and Physical Education 2 credits), general core courses and general elective courses each have 6 credits.
General platform courses and specialized courses both set corresponding compulsory and optional courses according to their specialty characteristics.
B. Requirements of optional courses in each module
The selection requirements of general core courses are natural science and technology, world civilization, society and art, and cultural inheritance, medical students must choose 6 credits courses in 4 course modules (must not repeat in the same course module).
In general optional course, medical students can choose 6 credits within whole university optional courses; the course categories are not limited.
Classification teaching method is carried out in English courses, which include a 4 credits compulsory course and a 4 credits expansive optional course. The students are required to take part in an English intensive training summer camp in the summer session in their first academic year; this is a compulsory part. Public English courses include three parts: they are theoretical course, practice course and self-study. Students must choose all the three parts and complete the related teaching requirements to obtain corresponding credit. Students must take Public Debate as optional course before taking English Debate.
Physical Education is a compulsory course in semester 1 to 4. In semester 5 to 8, the Special Education of P.E. do not set credit, of which it is limited optional course in 5 and 6 semester, and is freedom optional course in 7 and 8 semester.
In specialty optional course module, students are required to complete 9.5 credits, this is the minimum credit requirements, and students can choose more courses on their own. The course selection plan is as follows: cell biology, molecular biology, microbiology and immunology are suggested to take 1 course, with 1.5 credits. Other courses take 8 credits.
