Hohai University is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education, featuring water conservancy, focusing on engineering and developing in a coordinated manner. It is also a "world-class discipline construction", "national 2 1 1 engineering" and "985 engineering advantage discipline innovation platform". The teachers are very strong and the learning atmosphere is quite good. Actually, the predecessor of Hohai University can be traced back to "Hohai Engineering College" in 19 15, and it is also the first water conservancy school in China. 1952, the Water Conservancy Department of Nanjing University, the Water Conservancy Department of Jiaotong University, the Water Conservancy Department of Tongji University, the Water Conservancy Department of Zhejiang University and the East China Water Conservancy Institute merged to form the "East China Water Conservancy Institute", and the name of Hohai University was officially restored in 1985. It is worth mentioning that Hohai University is also the first batch of "double first-class" universities in China.
In the latest ranking list of national universities, Hohai University ranks 79th in China and 3rd in Jiangsu Province, next only to Nanjing University and Southeast University. In fact, the national ranking of Hohai University has remained below 80 in recent years, which shows that this university is still very strong. Hohai University currently has two academicians from China Academy of Engineering, namely Wu Zhongru and Wang Chao. Hohai University is not very famous, mainly because its teaching field is relatively narrow, almost all in water conservancy, hydrology, port offshore and civil engineering, and its publicity is not strong, so few people know it.
Hohai University has many majors, such as hydrology and water resources engineering, water conservancy and hydropower engineering, port waterway and coastal engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering, computer science and technology, water conservancy engineering, electrical engineering and automation, engineering mechanics, agricultural water conservancy engineering, etc. Among them, water conservancy and hydropower engineering, port waterway and coastal engineering, hydrology and water resources engineering, environmental and ecological engineering, water engineering and other majors rank first in the country, and almost no school can match them. In a word, the water conservancy specialty of Hohai University is in an absolute leading position in China. Of course, in addition, Hohai University's majors in civil engineering, electrical engineering and automation, and mechanical siege are also very good, ranking quite high in the country. After all, Hohai University is a school that focuses on science and engineering.
In a sense, Hohai University is "successful water conservancy", because the water conservancy major has a strong sense of glory and other majors have no obvious fame. At the same time, the water conservancy specialty also limits the development of other majors to some extent.
According to relevant data, the employment rate of Hohai University graduates has reached over 98%, which shows that the employment rate is still very high, and students are not worried about not finding a job. Generally speaking, students mainly go to research institutes or design institutes after graduation. Of course, because of different regions, the salary of graduates will be different, but overall, it is not low.
On the whole, Hohai University is a very good university.
