The school has established a nuclear discipline specialty group covering the whole nuclear industrial chain, with nuclear engineering and technology as the core and covering 18 specialty. Among them, seven undergraduate majors, including nuclear engineering and technology and mineral resources engineering, have joined the National Excellent Engineer Program, and nuclear engineering and technology have become national defense majors and national majors.
The school has formed a complete medical professional system with clinical medicine as the leading factor, and medical imaging, medical laboratory technology, pharmacy, nursing and preventive medicine have developed in a coordinated way. The school is the first batch of national pilot units of the "Excellent Doctor Education and Training Program" for clinical medicine in Hunan Province. It has become an important base for training senior professionals in medicine, medicine, nursing, public health and prevention in Hunan Province, and clinical medicine has entered the top global ranking of ESI (Basic Science Index Database) 1%.
The school has established an environmental protection professional group with safety engineering as the core and covering five majors. Over the past 60 years, the school has always adhered to and developed the disciplines of nuclear, medicine and environmental protection, served the national defense industry, nuclear industry, medical and health undertakings and local economic and social development, contributed to the development of higher education, and accumulated a profound foundation of nuclear, medicine and environmental protection disciplines. "Nuclear characteristics, medical brand and environmental advantages" are the "troika" that pulls the school into the excellent ranks.
In South China, there are not only professional brands such as nuclear engineering and nuclear technology, clinical medicine and environmental engineering, but also a large number of disciplines featuring "nuclear", "medicine" and "environmental protection". In engineering majors with traditional advantages such as machinery, electricity, civil construction, computer information and chemical materials, and humanities and social sciences majors such as economic management, language and literature, the application rate is high and the employment prospects are good.
