Postgraduate Education Donghua
University, formerly known as East-China Textile Institute of Science
and Technology and China Textile University before 1999, launched its
first master program in 1959 and had produced 98 graduates before the
Great Cultural Revolution. In 1978, it resumed the postgraduate education
program and became one of the first educational institutions in China
that are authorized to confer all the three-level degrees: bachelor's,
master's, and doctorate. Today, Donghua University has about 3,500 full-time
graduate candidates on campus, including 500 PhD candidates. Over
years of development, Donghua University is now offering 15 PhD programs
and 39 master programs, covering 22 disciplines including Philosophy,
Economics, Liberal Arts, History, Natural Science, Engineering, and Management,
among which Textile Engineering and Science, Material Science and Engineering,
and Management Science and Engineering are the first-rank disciplines
authorized to confer doctorate degrees. In addition, Textile Engineering
and Science and Material Science and Engineering have established stations
for post-doctoral research. Along with these academic programs, the University
has also been authorized by the Academic Degree Committee of the State
Council to offer more practice-oriented programs (MBA, EMBA) and MA in
engineering covering 10 fields. Donghua
University has always placed the building of a top-notch faculty team
at the heart of its activities, and endeavored to train the members through
a number of interdisciplinary programs. As a result, the University has
a large group of well-known scholars with academic influence both at home
and abroad. Currently, it has a faculty of over 1,300, including two fellows
of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 130 professors, 400 associate professors.
Among them 90 are supervisors for doctoral students and 427 supervisors
for postgraduate students. Four positions are set for professors of ”°Cheungkong
Scholars Program”± in the two first-rank disciplines, and special professorship
is offered at the University level to attract the worldӮs leading professors
and scholars. Along
with its efforts to develop the postgraduate education and continuously
improve its teaching quality, the University is also actively involved
in international exchange and cooperation. Each year, a portion of outstanding
students will be sent to 20 partner schools in the USA, France, Japan,
Australia, Russia, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Czech, Canada, and Hong Kong,
etc. for advanced studies and academic exchange. Emphasis is always put
on the development of the studentsӮ comprehensive qualities in morality,
intellect, health by establishing a very selective system, and opportunities
are offered to allow the students to put what they have learned into practice
through such roles as teaching, research, and administration assistants.
Additionally, financial support is provided in the form of scholarships
to encourage top students to climb the peak of science. In 2003, one of
our doctoral dissertations was listed among the Top 100 in China. In the
job market, our graduates are in great demand, with an employment rate
of nearly 100% in the last 5 years. Despite
its great success for more than half a century, Donghua University will
never be self-complacent and loosen its efforts. Instead, it will try
to seize every opportunity in the new millennium, and under the guidance
of the principle of ”°relying on concepts, academic achievements and management
for prosperity and success”±, to build a ”°domestically first-class, and
internationally renowned university with its own distinctive characteristics”±. 2.
