The pharmaceutical industry is a sunrise industry that will never decline. With the development of human civilization, people's demand for physical and mental health is getting higher and higher, and the demand for drug varieties, quality and quantity will also be higher and higher. In the past two decades, the pharmaceutical industry has developed rapidly driven by demand.

The emergence of a large number of new technologies such as human genome project, stem cell technology and tissue engineering, bioinformatics, transgenic animals and plants, cloning technology, biochip, gene therapy and cell therapy has greatly promoted the development of biopharmaceutical industry.

Since 1980s, the world pharmaceutical market has been growing at the rate of 8- 10% every year, and the pharmaceutical market in China has been growing at the rate of about 20%. The world pharmaceutical market194 was $246.7 billion, and it was $350 billion in 2000. It is estimated that it will exceed $600 billion in 20 10. This figure is far higher than the growth level of other chemical industries. Therefore, the prospect of the pharmaceutical industry is very bright.

There are 5,082 pharmaceutical preparations and raw materials manufacturers in China, and these pharmaceutical enterprises are the main destinations for pharmaceutical engineering graduates. According to the requirements of the development of pharmaceutical industry and the training objectives of pharmaceutical engineering, pharmaceutical engineering students can engage in drug production, new drug development and enterprise management after graduation. Combined with about 5000 domestic pharmaceutical enterprises, the employment prospect of pharmaceutical engineering is very broad. ?

After graduating from pharmaceutical engineering, you can engage in pharmaceutical production, management, marketing, inspection and supervision, research and development in enterprises and institutions related to pharmaceutical engineering (or pharmaceutical biotechnology). It is also suitable for graduate students in biotechnology, pharmacy and related majors.

During the school period, you can obtain qualification certificates such as drug inspectors and nutritionists.
