Discipline：Ecology
(Discipline Code: 071300)
Introduction
The Ecology graduate program includes four main research directions, which are "Environmental Eco-system Restoration", "Environmental Microbiology", "Ecological Materials Science and Applications", and "Macro- and Micro-ecosystems Analysis ".
"Environmental Eco-system Restoration" focuses on the construction of eutrophic water body ecological restoration theory and system, water source area protection theory and technology, and innovation ecological restoration technology development for water environment; "Environmental Microbiology" focuses on the influence of environmental pollution on the structure, function and diversity of microbial ecosystem, and the interaction mechanism between algicidal bacteria and algae; "Ecological Materials Science and Applications" focuses on ecological construction material, and microbial preparation technology for environmental eco-construction materials; “Macro- and Micro-ecosystems Analysis" focuses on micro-eco-system analysis, molecularly imprinted polymer materials, high resolution remote control application, ecological and geological environment survey and analysis.
Research Direction
"Environmental Eco-system Restoration", "Environmental Microbiology", "Ecological Materials Science and Applications", and "Macro- and Micro-ecosystems Analysis ".
Training Objectives
The academic program contribute to fulfill the need of self-motivated, highly competitive，skilled, confident, independent and creative graduates, in the areas of environmental ecology, eco-system restoration theory, microbiology and ecotoxicology . Meanwhile, the graduates are required to be proficient in one kind of foreign languages.
Training Period
Generally, the students are expected to graduate in 2 to 2.5 years, longest may delay for 3 years.
Credit Requirements and Curriculum (see attached list)
Thesis
〔Literature reading requirements, thesis written request, publication achievement requirements etc.〕
Literature Reading (for reference only, the same below)
Students are required to read at least 20 literatures on topics related to their thesis and research direction including 8 literatures in foreign languages and to write a literature overview.
Thesis Writing
In addition to compliance with the provisions of school, thesis must be written in a systematic and complete manner, presenting clear concepts, correct argument, realistic description, concise writing structure, smooth and concise writing style, correct calculation, reliable data, and clear icons.
Thesis Evaluation
Thesis should be written based on students’ own study and research. The findings presented in the thesis should have higher academic value and positive impact on economic development of
