University of Nottingham Ningbo China’s Chemical and Environmental Engineering Programmes Lead the Way for Future Careers in Sustainable Development

NINGBO, China--()--The University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC)’s School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering has received multiple international accreditations, including by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3) and the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). In addition, the School also has excellent and experienced teaching fellows and receives regular glowing reviews from its international student body.

In recent years, courses related to the disciplines of chemistry and environmental studies have become increasingly popular with students and parents. The world is also recognizing the importance of the disciplines: among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations, several are closely related to the environment.

In the view of Professor Tao Wu, Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at UNNC, the two undergraduate courses of UNNC Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering have great potential. "High-end chips need not only chip design and manufacturing talents, but also experts in materials and chemistry."

The School has experienced teaching fellows and the small class size of the School of 1:8 is advantageous for study, allowing lecturers to guide students to participate in scientific research, use cutting-edge experiment equipment, and support students to create and innovate. During each summer vacation, lecturers stay on campus voluntarily to supervise and guide students to conduct summer research.

“Carbon neutrality, and the transformation of energy and the manufacturing industry are critical to the future development of our country and the world,” said Yiyang Liu, a UNNC alumnus. Despite receiving job offers from over 30 renowned companies, Yiyang chose to go on to further study at a top 10 international university in the UK.

A degree certificate with international accreditation substantially enhances students’ competitiveness in further study and employment. At UNNC, previous employment destinations of the graduates of the School include UNEP office in Beijing, Morgan Stanley China, ExxonMobil and environmental protection departments of government at all levels. According to the employability report, more than 85% of Class 2020 students who chose to continue their studies were admitted to world top 50 universities.
