It is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education, which is characterized by water conservancy and mainly focuses on engineering. It is the key construction of the national "2 1 1 project", the innovation platform of national dominant disciplines and the "double first-class" construction. The school motto is "hard work and simplicity, seeking truth from facts, strict requirements, and courage to explore".
In April 2023, official website showed that Hohai University was divided into Xikang Road Campus, Jiangning Campus and Changzhou Campus, with 3,535 faculty members, 596 doctoral supervisors and 5 academicians. It is the first batch of universities in China authorized to award bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. * * * There are 16 postdoctoral mobile stations, 16 doctoral degree authorization points for first-class disciplines, 2 doctoral degree authorization points, 42 master degree authorization points for first-class disciplines, 19 master degree categories and 7 undergraduate majors. The school has 20 departments, including the College of Hydrology and Water Resources. [4] Thirty-seven majors, including hydrology and water resources engineering, were selected as the national first-class undergraduate specialty construction sites, and disciplines such as hydraulic structural engineering were the national "2 1 1 engineering" key construction disciplines, while two disciplines, namely water conservancy engineering, environmental science and engineering, were shortlisted for the first-class discipline construction list. There are 7 provincial key laboratories and 18 provincial engineering research centers and other scientific research platforms.
