Abstract College of chemistry of Nankai University and college of chemical engineering of Tianjin University make use of their own advantages and characteristics to establish the specialty of “Molecular Science and Engineering” in accordance with the requirements of “independent organizing, close cooperation” and the principle of “high starting point, high standard, creating characteristics and building first class”. The two universities recruit 30 people each year equipped with superior teaching staff. In the first two years, they study in Nankai University, and in the second two years, they are taught and trained in Tianjin University. When they graduate, they are awarded double bachelor's degrees in both science and engineering. They are trained to meet the needs of national development, have a broad and profound foundation in both chemistry and chemical engineering. The students majoring in “Molecular Science and Engineering” have both science and engineering background, solid theoretical foundation, strong practical innovation ability, broad employment prospects, and are generally praised by employing units. In 2020, “Molecular Science and Engineering” has been selected as the national first-class specialty construction site, which has become the professional benchmark for the cultivation of interdisciplinary talents.
