Secrets of harbin engineering university


History

HEU traces its origins to the PLA Military Engineering Institute established in Harbin on September 1, 1953. In 1970 the university was renamed Harbin Shipbuilding Engineering Institute (HSEI; simplified Chinese: 哈尔滨船舶工程学院; traditional Chinese: 哈爾濱船舶工程學院; pinyin: Hāěrbīn Chuánbó Gōngchéng Xuéyuàn).

The current name has been in use since 1994.

HEU was one of the first universities authorized by the state to award master's and doctoral degrees.

Campus

HEU is located in Nangang, in the heart of Harbin.

The university library occupies a six-storey building on the eastern side of campus. Particular strengths of library collections focus on nuclear and marine science.

Wifi access at the library is charged at 0.30 RMB per hour. Faculty, students, and staff with a university ID card may register for wifi access at the second floor information desk.

Admissions

Undergraduate, master's and doctoral students are admitted in the autumn semester. Although the majority of undergraduate courses are taught in Chinese, many postgraduate programs are offered in English. Qualifications in related programs are required for postgraduate admissions.

International Students

HEU emphasizes the development of international cooperation and academic exchange. Since 2000, HEU students have included nationals from Canada, Korea, Russia, Japan, Pakistan, Thailand, Nepal, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Academics

The university awards undergraduate, master, and doctoral degrees in the various branches of engineering, science, literature, management and economics.

International students seeking to improve their Chinese-language proficiency may enroll in a non-degree language course in either autumn or spring.

Research

As scholars at national key university, HEU faculty prioritize engineering in shipbuilding, information and communications, nuclear power, and hydroacoustics.

The university is home to over 40 research centers and institutes including:

  • Nuclear Power Safety and Simulation Introduction Base
  • Deepwater Engineering Research Center
  • International cooperation

    The university has established relationships with more than 20 international universities and research institutions, coordinating visiting scholars and cooperative research development.
