Abstract: The field of chemistry is currently experiencing rapid advancements in science and technology, swift interdisciplinary integration, and explosion of information. One of the key challenges in graduate chemical education is the development of a new curriculum system which adapts itself to these new circumstances. In this article, efforts on constructing up-to-date curriculum in the Department of Chemistry, Fudan University are introduced. The department has focused on strengthening the foundation of chemical education, enhancing laboratory safety education, and integrating coursework with research activities. Specially, it has developed four foundational courses designed to integrate knowledge with skills and foster a spirit of scientific inquiry. Additionally, a comprehensive laboratory safety course has been implemented to cultivate safety consciousness and emergency response capabilities among students. Furthermore, in the curriculum reform, by removing the course boundaries between sub-disciplines, establishing a merit-based specialized training zone, and reforming the course assessment system, the integration of coursework and scientific research is strengthened.,
