學(xué)院概況
西北大學(xué)肇始于1902年的陜西大學(xué)堂，1912年始稱現(xiàn)名。建國初期是中央教育部直屬的綜合大學(xué)，1958年歸屬陜西省主管，1978年重新被確定為全國重點大學(xué)。現(xiàn)為國家“211工程”重點建設(shè)院校、國家“一省一校”計劃重點支持建設(shè)院校、教育部和陜西省共建高校。學(xué)校坐落在古都西安，占地2360多畝的校園為師生提供了幽雅的教學(xué)環(huán)境�，F(xiàn)有教職工2400余人，各類在校生24000余人。設(shè)有21個院系、71個本科專業(yè)，擁有10個博士學(xué)位授權(quán)一級學(xué)科、15個博士后科研流動站、3個國家級實驗教學(xué)示范中心、7個國家級人才培養(yǎng)基地，并設(shè)有國家大學(xué)生文化素質(zhì)教育基地、18個部（�。┘壷攸c實驗室和工程技術(shù)研究中心。
西北大學(xué)的化學(xué)科始設(shè)于1923年，是我國西部地區(qū)最早建立的化學(xué)人才培養(yǎng)中心。1937年設(shè)化學(xué)系，該名稱延續(xù)使用了71年。為了適應(yīng)教學(xué)和科學(xué)研究迅速發(fā)展的形勢，學(xué)校于2008年批準(zhǔn)成立化學(xué)與材料科學(xué)學(xué)院。
化學(xué)與材料科學(xué)學(xué)院的教學(xué)和科研活動在北校區(qū)進(jìn)行。在校學(xué)生約900人，包括600名左右的本科生和300名左右的研究生。學(xué)院十分重視教學(xué)和科學(xué)研究之間的平衡，將本科生和研究生的培養(yǎng)置于同等重要的地位。
學(xué)院包括3個系：化學(xué)系、材料化學(xué)系和化學(xué)生物學(xué)系。依靠國家理科基礎(chǔ)科學(xué)研究和教學(xué)人才培養(yǎng)基地和國家級化學(xué)實驗教學(xué)示范中心這樣兩個平臺，本科生的教學(xué)按4個專業(yè)組織：化學(xué)專業(yè)、應(yīng)用化學(xué)專業(yè)、材料化學(xué)專業(yè)和化學(xué)生物學(xué)專業(yè)，其中的化學(xué)專業(yè)是國家級特色專業(yè)。
學(xué)院是國務(wù)院學(xué)位委員會批準(zhǔn)的化學(xué)一級學(xué)科博士學(xué)位授權(quán)點，為研究生提供分析化學(xué)、無機(jī)化學(xué)、有機(jī)化學(xué)、物理化學(xué)、高分子化學(xué)與物理、材料化學(xué)和化學(xué)生物學(xué)博士學(xué)位。除上述7個化學(xué)二級學(xué)科外，授予碩士學(xué)位的學(xué)科還有材料物理與化學(xué)。除此之外，設(shè)在學(xué)院的化學(xué)博士后科研流動站也接受取得博士學(xué)位的學(xué)者從事博士后研究。
西北大學(xué)的化學(xué)學(xué)科是國家“211工程”支持的重點學(xué)科。由于現(xiàn)代化學(xué)研究具有多學(xué)科交叉的特征，學(xué)院的科學(xué)研究活動不再按傳統(tǒng)的系、室進(jìn)行組織。當(dāng)前的主要科研活動組織在合成與天然功能分子化學(xué)教育部重點實驗室和電分析化學(xué)、現(xiàn)代分離科學(xué)、物理無機(jī)化學(xué)等3個省級重點實驗室的體制中。
學(xué)院現(xiàn)有教職工中包括了35位教授，33位副教授，22位講師和30位專業(yè)技術(shù)和行政管理人員。教師和學(xué)生每年發(fā)表100篇以上SCI論文，從一個方面說明了他們的學(xué)術(shù)水平。教師的水平也能從他們獲得的榮譽(yù)和獎勵得出判斷。學(xué)院教師中，2人當(dāng)選兩院院士，4人獲國家級(3)和省級(1)教學(xué)名師獎，6人被授予國家(2)和陜西省(4)有突出貢獻(xiàn)專家稱號。
學(xué)院對外交流活動頻繁，前后接待過幾十個國家和地區(qū)數(shù)百名專家學(xué)者講學(xué)，與美國、日本和許多歐洲國家的知名高校建立了長期合作關(guān)系，廣泛開展國際學(xué)術(shù)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.
