Environmental Science

Discipline advantages

The Department of Environmental Engineering (EE), Jilin University, was merged by former Department of Environmental Engineering of Jilin University and that of Changchun Science and Technology University. EE began to enroll undergraduate students in 1992, graduate students in 1996 and doctoral candidates in 2003, and was approved the establishment of mobile station for the post-doctors in environmental science and engineering disciplines. EE was named provincial key disciplines in 2006. Center Lab for Environmental Engineering in EE provides teaching for undergraduates with 1,600 m2.

EE has formed a high-level education and science research team with multi-disciplinary coverage of science, engineering, management. At present DESE has 24 faculty members, among whom 9 are professors, 7 are Associate professors, 6 are lectures and 23 of whom have Ph.D. degree.

Faculties of EE undertook and completed National "863" Major Scientific and Technological Projects, "973" Project, National Natural Science Foundation of China Projects, International Cooperation Projects and Industry-sponsored research projects, which achieved a number of high-level scientific research payoffs, pragmatic technology, and plenty of national and provincial awards.

The College of Environment and Resources

The College of Environment and Resources was re-organized in 2001 from the related academic disciplines of the former Changchun University of Science and Technology and the former Jilin University. The College includes two disciplines: water conservancy engineering, and environmental science and engineering.

There are three Departments in the College: groundwater science and engineering, environmental science, and environmental engineering. Other resources include the Institute of Water Resources and Environment, the key laboratory sponsored jointly by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Land and Resources, the key laboratory sponsored by Jilin Province, and the Center for Environmental Impact Assessment.

Academic programs are grouped as follows:

* 4 undergraduate programs: hydrology and water resources engineering, groundwater science and engineering, environmental science, and environmental engineering.

* 6 Master's degree programs: hydrology and water resources engineering, groundwater science and engineering, environmental science, environmental engineering, environmental management and environmental economy, and water conservancy and water power engineering.

* 5 doctoral degree programs: hydrology and water resources engineering, groundwater science and engineering, environmental science, environmental engineering, and environmental management and environmental economy.

*2 post-doctoral programs: environmental science and engineering, and water conservancy engineering.

At present there are 109 faculty members, with 33 full professors, 21 associate professors, and 20 lecturers. The current student enrollment in the college is 1368, with 951 undergraduates, 341 master degree students, and 76 doctoral degree students.

Whenever there’s an update, you will be informed on your application status through ACASC system within a day as soon as we receive university’s notification. You will simultaneously receive ACASC auto-email about the application status. To directly inquire about your application status, feel free to send us an email to admission@acasc.cn and our team will keep you updated.

Question: How to deal with a pending application?

Answer: When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not have.

The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.

To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application

How long does it take to process my application?

Processing time varies for different applications. For example to process a degree program application requires more time than a Chinese language application. Confirmation for Chinese language application by the admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, time for degree programs application differs. For example fall semester application processing is after March, and it takes a period of 1 to 2 months. This also depends on your qualification and the number of applicants.
