### The School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

The School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (SCCE) is one of the initial founded faculty in Qilu University of Technology. In nowadays, it includes five different subjects, which are: Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Applied Chemistry, Pharmaceutic Preparation and Energetic Engineering. The SCCE has about 150 lecturers and researchers, including 22 professors, 46 associate professors. The students are subordinated in Jinan and Heze campus and in total there are 2400 bachelor students and over 200 master students.
The School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering attaches great importance to the international education and cooperation. It has been worked close with international universities closely in the field of education and academic research. In 2012, the first international class, which is under the subject of Applied Chemistry, has been found. The international class was firstly cooperated with Saimaa University of Applied Sciences in Finland and then transferred to Tampere University of Applied Sciences. Most of the graduate students have successfully applied for the master/Ph.D. degree programs in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, the US and so on.
