Hohai University

Hohai University is a national key university directly affiliated to the Ministry of Education with a century-old history of running a school, featuring water conservancy, engineering as the main subject, and coordinated development of multiple disciplines. Disciplinary construction and universities that set up graduate schools. For more than 100 years, the school has developed and grown in the course of water management and national prosperity, and is known as "the cradle of water conservancy high-level innovation and entrepreneurship training and an important base for water conservancy technological innovation." The school has Xikang Road campus, Jiangning campus and Changzhou campus in Nanjing and Changzhou, covering an area of 2579 acres.


   Hohai University, originated from the Hohai Engineering College, founded in 1915 by the famous modern educator and industrialist Zhang Jian, is the first institution of higher learning in China to train water conservancy talents, creating a precedent for China's water conservancy higher education. Proletarian revolutionaries such as Zhang Wentian and Shen Zemin once studied in Hehai and embarked on the revolutionary road from here. In 1924, it merged with Southeast University to form the Hohai University of Engineering. In 1927, it was merged into the Fourth Sun Yat-sen University and later renamed Central University and Nanjing University. In 1952, the Water Conservancy Department of Nanjing University, Jiaotong University, Tongji University, Zhejiang University and other colleges and universities established the East China Water Conservancy College, with Qian Zhengying as the first dean. In 1960, the school was recognized as a national key university by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. In 1985, the traditional school name "Hohai University" was restored, and Comrade Deng Xiaoping wrote the name of the school himself.


Hohai University has School of Hydrology and Water Resources, School of Water Conservancy and Hydropower, School of Port, Coastal and Offshore Engineering, School of Civil and Transportation, School of Environment, School of Energy and Electricity, School of Computer and Information, School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, School of Internet of Things Engineering, Mechanics and School of Materials, School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, School of Agricultural Engineering, School of Oceanography, School of Science, School of Business, School of Business Administration, School of Public Administration, School of Law, School of Marxism, School of Foreign Languages, Department of Physical Education, etc. (Top Talent Training College), International Education College, Distance and Continuing Education College. As of the end of September 2017, there were 51419 students in various academic education, including 16,493 postgraduates, 19,870 general undergraduates, 13,874 adult education students, and 1,182 international students.

   Hohai University is one of the first batch of universities authorized by the country to grant bachelor, master and doctorate degrees. In the discipline evaluation organized by the Ministry of Education in 2016, the school's water conservancy engineering discipline was awarded A+. The five disciplines of "Engineering", "Environment/Ecology", "Computer Science", "Material Science" and "Earth Science" are among the top 1% of the ESI World Ranking, with 1 first-level national key discipline (water conservancy engineering), and 7 second-level disciplines. National key disciplines for first-level disciplines, 2 second-level disciplines, national key discipline cultivation sites, 15 first-level disciplines and provincial key disciplines; 15 post-doctoral mobile stations; 16 first-level discipline doctoral programs, 77 second-level discipline doctoral programs; 38 There are 1 first-level master's degree programs and 205 second-level master's degree programs; 12 types of master's degree categories, of which engineering master's degree involves 19 engineering fields; 56 undergraduate majors.


   Hohai University adheres to the pragmatic education tradition and has trained more than 200,000 graduates. When Premier Wen Jiabao inspected the school in 2005, he pointed out that “many of the technical backbones of the water conservancy and hydropower fronts across the country are students from Hohai University.
