The College of Sciences@NJAU, founded in 1996, is the main unit of teaching and academic research in the discipline of mathematics, physics and chemistry of Nanjing Agricultural University. The college is consisted of three departments (mathematics department, physics department and chemistry department) and two experimental teaching demonstration centers of Jiangsu province. There are six basic research and technology platforms under the college, which are pesticide laboratory, physical and chemical analysis center, agricultural product safety and quality testing center, pesticide creation center, applied chemistry institute and isotope laboratory, respectively. In 2011, the pesticide laboratory, co-built with the college of plant protection, was promoted to provincial key laboratory of Jiangsu. Later on, the department of chemistry was cultivated as a key discipline in Jiangsu province in 2016. The college of sciences has become a school that integrates public foundation education with professional education, pays equal attention to undergraduate education and postgraduate education, and coordinates the development of teaching and scientific research.

The college now has 104 faculty and staff, 88 full-time teachers, including 15 professors, 9 part-time professors (from home and abroad) and 42 associate professors.

In the past five years, the faculties and staffs have presided over more than 30 state-level teaching and research projects and undertaken over 40 research projects of various kinds, as well as publishing over 200 academic papers indexed by SCI.

"Teacher, therefore imparting knowledge and solving doubts", the college of sciences takes teaching as its own responsibility, and strives to create a team of teachers with equal emphasis on teaching and scientific research and high comprehensive professional quality. We will focus on the present and look forward to the future, further emancipate our minds, update our ideas, strengthen teaching research and teaching reform, and constantly improve the quality of teaching and education. We will strengthen the construction of research teams and promote the simultaneous improvement of basic academic research and applied technology research. We will improve the connotation of majors and disciplines, increase the enrollment of undergraduates and postgraduates moderately, and optimize the talent training system. We should advocate the concept of harmonious development, strive to create an active and promising working atmosphere, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of teachers and staff, gather wisdom, pool efforts and go beyond ourselves, finalizing a comprehensive, harmonious and rapid development of the college.
