Using university chemistry as a case study, this paper compares the differences in curriculum design between China and the UK, analyzes the similarities and disparities in chemistry education, and aims to advance the scientific evolution of chemistry education curriculum design in China. While chemistry majors in China and the UK share similar professional course content, they are delivered to students through different approaches. The varying training objectives and teaching methodologies offer insights for reforming chemistry curriculum in Chinese higher education. This research serves as a reference for curriculum reforms aimed at fostering innovative talents in China and provides guidance for cultivating outstanding scientists from a university education perspective.
