Department of geographical sciences
The Department of Geographical Sciences is the first university geographical science department established after the founding of New China. Established in 195 1, it is one of the geographical science teaching and research centers in China. At present, the Department of Geographical Sciences is one of the five bases for talent training and scientific research in basic geographical sciences in China, one of the four units in China with the right to award doctoral, master's and bachelor's degrees in first-class geographical disciplines, one of the first postdoctoral mobile stations in China, and one of the first two key discipline units in natural geography in China.
The Department of Geographical Sciences has first-class teaching and research conditions, strong teachers and complete education and training level. There are nearly 60 associate professors. Relying on the platform of "National Basic Science Talent Training and Scientific Research Base", State Key Laboratory of Estuary and Coast and Key Laboratory of Geographic Information Science of the Ministry of Education, the Department of Geographical Sciences has strong comprehensive advantages in talent training, and the systematic, comprehensive and quantitative characteristics of undergraduate teaching are more prominent. In recent years, in order to meet the needs of national economic construction and social development, geography has been combined with social application and information technology to offer bilingual teaching courses to strengthen students' practical training and scientific research ability. At the same time, we also actively carry out academic exchanges with international students to create a better environment for cultivating first-class geographical talents. In addition to going abroad or studying for further study, most graduates work in scientific research institutions, universities, key middle schools, administrative departments of governments at all levels, enterprises and institutions, which are generally welcomed by employers.
Geographical science major (normal and non-normal base classes)
The basic science talents training and scientific research base classes in geographical countries are the cradle of geographical talents training in the country. It mainly trains reserve professionals with solid basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, foreign languages and computers. , and extensive professional knowledge, competent for geographical science research. During the four years of university, in addition to geographical science courses, many bilingual teaching courses, innovative design experiment courses and cross-regional field practice courses have been added. Under the professional guidance system of tutors, students can apply for innovative research projects and fund support during their studies. The qualification of the students participating in the training base class is based on the rolling system. After graduating from university, most of them can go directly to important national research institutions and key universities to study for master's degrees without examination, and they can also engage in management, scientific research and teaching in government departments, scientific research institutions, enterprises and institutions and key universities.
The teachers' course of geography specialty is to cultivate geography researchers and geography and environmental educators who are all-round developed morally, intellectually and physically and have certain scientific research and innovation ability. The main professional courses are: Introduction to the Earth, Cartography, Modern Geological Geomorphology, Physical Geography, Human Geography, Economic Geography, Environmental Science, Ecology, Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System, China Geography, World Geography, Computer Aided Geography Teaching, etc. And arrange many field internships. After graduating from university, I continue to study for a master's degree, mainly engaged in geography education and environmental education, which can also meet the needs of management and scientific research.
Geographic information system GIS major (non-normal)
This major trains geographic information technology workers and researchers who have all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique, have certain scientific research and application development capabilities, and meet the needs of management, development and application of geographic information systems in environmental protection, land, economy, planning, real estate, tourism, urban construction and other departments. The main professional courses are: cartography, remote sensing, geography, computer cartography, computer image processing, calculation method, signal and remote sensing image processing, geographic information system application, geographic information system programming, 3S integration and application, data mining and virtual geographic environment. The employment rate ranks first in the school. In addition to continuing to study for a master's degree, I am mainly engaged in the management, development and application of geographic information systems in government departments, large and medium-sized enterprises, companies and institutions, and also engaged in related teaching and scientific research.
