.Overview

1.Programme description

This Program is built upon the discipline of Environmental Science and Engineering, encompassing two sub-disciplines: Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering. In 2010, the Environmental Engineering discipline was recognized as a Beijing Key Discipline, and its undergraduate program was designated as a Beijing Distinguished Specialty Program. In 2012, the Program was granted the authority to award Ph.D degree in the primary discipline of Environmental Science and Engineering, and was approved to establish a postdoctoral research station in Environmental Science and Engineering in 2014. The faculty team currently has 40 members engaged in teaching and research, including 19 professors and 15 doctoral supervisors.

Through the key development of the university's "211 Project" and "985 Project Innovation Platforms", the Environmental Science and Engineering discipline has established substantial scale and good educational infrastructure. A Specialized Environmental Engineering Laboratory has been constructed on campus, providing good experimental and research conditions for multiple areas including water pollution control, solid waste treatment and recycling, air pollution control, as well as environmental monitoring and assessment. The Program maintains an average annual research funding of RMB 20 million. Over the past five years, more than 200 high-quality research papers indexed by SCI (including publications in the top-tier journal Science) have been published internationally. In 2021, the Environment and Ecology discipline achieved its first entry into the Top 1% of ESI global rankings.
