At present, universities offering pharmaceutical engineering are divided into five categories: universities of science and engineering, comprehensive universities, pharmaceutical universities, institutions of higher learning and other types of universities (such as agricultural colleges and business schools). The largest number of pharmaceutical engineering majors are universities of science and engineering, followed by comprehensive universities, and then medical colleges. Among these universities offering pharmaceutical engineering, about 30% have pharmaceutical departments and more than 60% have engineering departments. Although pharmaceutical engineering major is an engineering major, it needs a strong school background, and it also requires a certain teaching and scientific research foundation in pharmacy.

At present, there are basically graduate students in this major in comprehensive universities. The better schools are: Northwest A& F University East China University of Science and Technology Tianjin University Zhejiang University Lanzhou University of Technology China Pharmaceutical University Shenyang Pharmaceutical University Guangdong University of Technology Qingdao University of Science and Technology Jiangnan University Guangdong Pharmaceutical University shenyang institute of chemical technology Chengdu University of Chinese Medicine Yunnan College of Chinese Medicine Shanghai University of Science and Technology Hebei University of Science and Technology Taiyuan University of Technology Liaoning College of Chinese Medicine Changchun College of Chinese Medicine Jiamusi University Harbin University of Commerce Hebei Agricultural University Jiangsu University Nanjing University Anhui College of Chinese Medicine Jiangxi College of Chinese Medicine Shandong Wuhan Institute of Technology University of Chinese Medicine Hunan Institute of Science and Technology Hubei University of Chinese Medicine South China Agricultural University Southwest Agricultural University Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine Jilin University Jilin Agricultural University Inner Mongolia Agricultural University Jilin Medical College beijing university of chemical technology University of Science and Technology Beijing Central University for Nationalities Hefei University of Technology Shandong University South China University of Technology Huaqiao University Southwest University Sichuan University Hebei University of Technology Nanjing University of Technology Zhejiang University of Technology Nanjing University of Science and Technology Jilin.
