学院概况

　　西北大学肇始于1902年的陕西大学堂，1912年始称现名。建国初期是中央教育部直属的综合大学，1958年归属陕西省主管，1978年重新被确定为全国重点大学。现为国家“211工程”重点建设院校、国家“一省一校”计划重点支持建设院校、教育部和陕西省共建高校。学校坐落在古都西安，占地2360多亩的校园为师生提供了幽雅的教学环境。现有教职工2400余人，各类在校生24000余人。设有21个院系、71个本科专业，拥有10个博士学位授权一级学科、15个博士后科研流动站、3个国家级实验教学示范中心、7个国家级人才培养基地，并设有国家大学生文化素质教育基地、18个部（省）级重点实验室和工程技术研究中心。

　　西北大学的化学科始设于1923年，是我国西部地区最早建立的化学人才培养中心。1937年设化学系，该名称延续使用了71年。为了适应教学和科学研究迅速发展的形势，学校于2008年批准成立化学与材料科学学院。

　　化学与材料科学学院的教学和科研活动在北校区进行。在校学生约900人，包括600名左右的本科生和300名左右的研究生。学院十分重视教学和科学研究之间的平衡，将本科生和研究生的培养置于同等重要的地位。

　　学院包括3个系：化学系、材料化学系和化学生物学系。依靠国家理科基础科学研究和教学人才培养基地和国家级化学实验教学示范中心这样两个平台，本科生的教学按4个专业组织：化学专业、应用化学专业、材料化学专业和化学生物学专业，其中的化学专业是国家级特色专业。

　　学院是国务院学位委员会批准的化学一级学科博士学位授权点，为研究生提供分析化学、无机化学、有机化学、物理化学、高分子化学与物理、材料化学和化学生物学博士学位。除上述7个化学二级学科外，授予硕士学位的学科还有材料物理与化学。除此之外，设在学院的化学博士后科研流动站也接受取得博士学位的学者从事博士后研究。

　　西北大学的化学学科是国家“211工程”支持的重点学科。由于现代化学研究具有多学科交叉的特征，学院的科学研究活动不再按传统的系、室进行组织。当前的主要科研活动组织在合成与天然功能分子化学教育部重点实验室和电分析化学、现代分离科学、物理无机化学等3个省级重点实验室的体制中。

　　学院现有教职工中包括了35位教授，33位副教授，22位讲师和30位专业技术和行政管理人员。教师和学生每年发表100篇以上SCI论文，从一个方面说明了他们的学术水平。教师的水平也能从他们获得的荣誉和奖励得出判断。学院教师中，2人当选两院院士，4人获国家级(3)和省级(1)教学名师奖，6人被授予国家(2)和陕西省(4)有突出贡献专家称号。

　　学院对外交流活动频繁，前后接待过几十个国家和地区数百名专家学者讲学，与美国、日本和许多欧洲国家的知名高校建立了长期合作关系，广泛开展国际学术交流和合作研究。

　　College Introduction Northwest University(NWU)is acomprehensive university of higher learning listed in the state"Project 211",and one of the universities supported by the state in its Western China Development Campaign.NWU has its origin in Shaanxi College founded in 1902,and adopted its present name in 1912.In the early period of the founding of PRC,NWU was akey university under direct administration of the Ministry of Education(MOE).In 1958,it came under the administration of the Shaanxi Provincial Government.NWU was redesignated as aChina's key university in 1978,and as auniversity co-built by the Shaanxi Provincial Government and the Ministry of Education in 2009.

　　NWU is Located in Xi'an,a famous historical city,its 2,360-mu campuses provide an excellent environment for the student and scholar.NWU has afaculty and staff over 2,400,Its current enrollment includes 24,000 undergraduate and graduate students.The university consists of 21 schools and/or departments and offers 71 undergraduate programs,10 primary doctoral programs,15 postdoctoral stations,3 national demonstration centers of experimental teaching,7 national bases for talent training,18 ministerial/provincial key labs/engineering and technology research centers.

　　The chemistry discipline of NWU，the earliest center cultivating chemical talent in the western China,got its origin in 1923.It was named as Chemistry Department in 1937,and the College of Chemistry and Materials Science in 2008.

　　The College is located on the north campus of the university.Current enrollment includes 600 full-time undergraduate and 300 full-time graduate students.The college lays emphasis on teaching and research,and places the training of undergraduate and graduate students as important as the status of place.

　　The college consists of 3departments:Department of Chemistry,Department of Materials Chemistry,and Department of Chemical Biology.Based on the nation's base for cultivating chemical talent and the national chemical experiment teaching demonstration center,undergraduate teaching was organized under 4majors:chemistry,applied chemistry,materials chemistry,and chemical biology,of which chemistry major is anational excellent major.

　　The college has its doctoral program in chemistry discipline,offering programs leading to the PhD degree in the fields of analytical,inorganic,organic,physical and materials chemistry,polymer chemistry and physics,and chemical biology.Programs leading to the Master Degree are offered in the fields all mentioned above and in the field of materials physics and chemistry.In addition,PhD scholars are received to do their research by the post-doctoral research station of the college.

　　The NWU chemistry discipline is one of the key disciplines supported by the nation's“Project 211”.Since modern chemical research is increasingly interdisciplinary in nature,the college does not maintain traditional autonomous divisions.Much of the current research activity in the college is organized under the Key Laboratory of Synthetic and Natural Functional Molecular Chemistry of MOE and the 3provincial key laboratories:Electroanalytical Chemistry,Modern Separation Science,and Physico-Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory.

　　The college current personnel include 35 full professors,33 associate professors,22 lecturers and 30 technical and administration staff.The productine publications with more the 100 SCI papers attdent ahigh level of the college in academic.Also,the quality of the faculty can also be judged by the number of competitive awards and honors it has received.Of the faculty,two has been elected academician,four have been awarded national(3)and provincial(1)outstanding teacher prize,six have been awarded the titles of national(2)and provincial(4)outstanding experts.

　　The college carries actively out international exchange and cooperation with several famous universities in the world,including from USA,Japan and alot of European countries,and has received hundreds of visiting scholars and experts from different countries and regions.
