For those students who study abroad at the autumn term of the 4th academic year, except the scientific research activities, they are also recommended to two environmental theory related courses (at least 4 credits), and one experimental course (at least 2 credits).The credits will be added to their total credits, but not as the required course credits for their degrees. For those who study at home at the 4th academic year, they can choose the elective course of their own filed, or other courses on chemistry, biology and other majors, which are also not the required courses for the degree.
