The Department of Chemistry is committed to cultivating talents with innovative ideas and frontier insights engaged in their studies to propel the development of Chemistry, and having a broad international perspective and a strong sense of social responsibility. With Westlake University’s resource-rich-environment and enduring dedication to the pursuit of excellence in teaching, students are able to develop an in-depth understanding of solid and broad basic theories and systemic expertise in their subject field, grasp the most cutting-edge development trends of the subject and have the basic academic literacy to carry out independent scientific research. Our doctoral students are studying in joint programs with Zhejiang University and Fudan University, which are both top-ranked, large-sized, long-established and comprehensive universities, so we can offer all the advantages of studying at a small, dynamic and new university but at the same time students also get the advantage of studying at a large, established university. The Joint Doctoral Program with Zhejiang University and Fudan University both offers Ph.D. Programs in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.
