The Department of Applied Chemistry (AC) is a member of the School of the Sciences and Engineering, one of the oldest departments in the Chaoyang University of Technology (CYUT), and is recognized for its scholarly achievements and commitment to excellence in teaching, research and service to the community. The Department operates superb, state-of-the-art instrumentation facilities that support its research and teaching missions. The Department, established in 1995, is the home of an emerging academic discipline, exciting interdisciplinary degree programs, and faculty and students who want to make a difference in human health care through education, research, and invention. We currently provide instruction and training to over 300 undergraduate and over 20 postgraduate students. To meet the challenges of the new century, our department is working to constantly improve its educational and research program.

We offered BSc undergraduate degrees and postgraduate program of MSc and PhD degrees which are certified by Institute of Engineering Education, Taiwan (IEET) certification. Our postgraduate program offers MSc and PhD degrees in the four traditional areas of Analytical, Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry as well as in the disciplines of Biochemistry, Plant Tissue Culture, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Environmental Technology and Materials & Polymers. With research active faculty, you can expect to receive personal attention from your faculty mentor as you develop your own research skills and mature as a scientist. Faculties and students in the AC also benefit from a number of close collaborations between chemistry and research centers and departments at CYUT.

Feature

The AC has excellent facilities for conducting research in the biophysical, cellular, and molecular biological sciences. The Department houses multiple core facilities funded by MOE, MOST and CYUT to support modern chemical and biomolecular research, including a precision greenhouse, fungal culture room; specialized instrumentation for analytical chemistry; FTIR systems; mass spectrometers; NMR Spectroscopy. In addition to modern, spacious laboratories, the department has state-of-the-art instrumentation available to investigators within departmental research groups. The Department is equipped with a wide variety of other instrumentation, including microscopes; fermentor; centralized cell culture facilities, peptide synthesis, and microbial cultivation and protein purification core facilities and a full complement of standard chemical research instruments.
