China-Ireland Chemistry Summer School at UCD
(中爱化学暑期学校 - 都柏林大学)
For nearly 10 years, we have welcomed students from China to the Chemistry Summer School annually. Teaching at UCD School of Chemistry is led by 31 world-leading research-active faculty members. The School has approx. 120 graduate research students spread across 33 research groups in the O’Brien Centre for Science - South and Centre For Synthesis and Chemical Biology Buildings. Each year between 20 and 25 students graduate with Taught MSc degrees and 45 and 60 students graduate with BSc (Hons) degrees while we also provide modules in chemistry to hundreds of UCD undergraduate students from diverse programmes in medicine, engineering, agriculture and science.
近十多年来，我们一直欢迎中国学生参加化学暑期学校。目前UCD 化学学院有31位在国际科
研领域领先或活跃的教员，有33个研究课题组和大约 120位研究生组成。学院每年培养20-25
个教学型硕士研究生和45-60个本科生，同时向数百位专业为医药学、工程学、农业学和自然
科学的学生提供课程。
Undergraduate Summer School (本科生)
We welcome undergraduate students from partner universities in China to study chemistry over the summer at UCD. The undergraduate summer school offers 3 modules taught by academic members of staff, covering Inorganic, Physical and Organic Chemistry topics (3 x 5 ECTS). Instruction is entirely in English, and based on UCD’s undergraduate curriculum, with a mix of small-class lectures, individual hands-on lab experience for each student, tutorials and lecturer-led workshops. This summer school is most suitable for university students in Year 1-3. Students take each module in sequence: each module runs over 3 weeks with continuous assessment and a final exam. The final syllabus and module order is confirmed each year in Spring. The material taught draws on the research experience of our faculty.
我们欢迎来自中国伙伴大学的本科生参与我们的暑期项目。该项目涵盖三门课程，包括无机化
学、物理化学和有机化学（3 × 5 ECTS*）。课程设置基于UCD的本科生科目，为全英文授课
，同时将融合一些小班授课、实验课程、答疑辅导课和实践课等。我们的暑期项目适合大一至
大三的学生，每个课程为期三周依次单独进行，含有平时测评和期末考试。三门课的课程大纲
及排课顺序于每年的年初确定。教学内容与授课教师的研究经验相结合。

Postgraduate Summer School (研究生)
We also welcome a small number of selected MSc or PhD research students to spend the summer period as visiting researchers. They will each be hosted by a UCD School of Chemistry research group, led by a faculty member and will integrate into a European research setting to develop a project. The host group will have the opportunity to learn about research in China, and may lead to future collaborative research between both universities. In parallel to lab work, visiting students will complete a 2.5 ECTS graduate module, building research skills and competency communicating science in the English language. Topics include:
- Writing reports on chemistry research seminars
- Writing about your work experience
- Competency with UCD’s research culture,
- including health and safety regulations
- Ability to complete risk assessments in English
- Presentation of your summer research project
我们也欢迎少量的硕士或博士研究生以访问学者的身份参与我们的暑期项目。他们将进入学院
某个课题组开展研究工作，很好的机会融入欧洲的研究环境，与当地的学生和老师共同开发项
目。学院也将有机会了解中国的研究，为两所大学之间未来的合作研究奠定基础。在访学期间
，学生还有机会选修2.5学分的研究生课程，以培养学生研究技能的同时提高英文学术表达能
力。研究生项目包含以下内容：
- 撰写学术报告摘要
- 撰写研究工作经历
- 融入都柏林大学研究氛围
- 熟悉实验室健康与安全规章
- 英文完成实验室药品风险评估能力
- 暑期研究总结陈述
* ECTS欧洲学分转换及积累系统，可用于不同国家或机构之间转移和积累学分。其中1 学分
通常代表 25-30 小时的学习工作量（包括上课、复习、自学）。

"我太喜欢UCD了！3个月太短了！希望以后有机会再来爱尔兰！ 用一句古诗来告别吧： 青山一道同风雨，明月何曾是两乡 I love UCD so much. 3 months is too short! I hope to come back to Ireland sometime in the future! Let's say goodbye with an old Chinese poem: Though separated by mountains, we’ll share the same clouds and rain. The bright moon belongs not to a single town."
