It is a double first-class university. The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences is one of 95 world-class discipline construction universities. There are two first-class construction disciplines, namely chemistry, materials science and engineering. Authorized points of doctoral programs in the first-class disciplines of Chinese Academy of Sciences: philosophy, theoretical economics, applied economics, psychology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, atmospheric science, marine science, geophysics, geology, biology, system science, history of science and technology, ecology, statistics, mechanics, mechanical engineering, optical engineering, instrument science and technology, material science and engineering, power engineering and technology. Electronic science and technology, information and communication engineering, control science and engineering, computer science and technology, civil engineering, surveying and mapping science and technology, chemical engineering and technology, geological resources and geological engineering, aerospace science and technology, nuclear science and technology, environmental science and engineering, biomedical engineering, software engineering, crop science, agricultural resources and environment, animal husbandry, forestry, aquatic products, basic medicine, pharmacy and traditional Chinese medicine. Master's degree programs in first-class disciplines (list is incomplete): philosophy, theoretical economics, applied economics, psychology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, atmospheric science, marine science, geophysics, geology, biology, system science, history of science and technology, ecology, statistics, mechanics, mechanical engineering, optical engineering, instrument science and technology, material science and engineering, and so on. Electronic science and technology, information and communication engineering, control science and engineering, computer science and technology, civil engineering, surveying and mapping science and technology, chemical engineering and technology, geological resources and geological engineering, aerospace science and technology, nuclear science and technology, environmental science and engineering, biomedical engineering, software engineering, crop science, agricultural resources and environment, animal husbandry, forestry, aquatic products, basic medicine, pharmacy and traditional Chinese medicine. According to HKUST, HKUST originated from the Graduate School of China Academy of Sciences, with a history of only 40 years. It was not until 20 12 that it was renamed as University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it began to accept undergraduates in 2 14. There are not many universities in China that build graduate schools first and then run undergraduate courses like the National Science and Technology University. This strategic way of running a school has made the strength of the National University of Science and Technology, which has been established for less than five years, soar.
