Introduction to Organizing Institutions

School of Environment , Tsinghua University

The discipline of environmental engineering at Tsinghua University can be traced back to the Department of Municipal Engineering established in 1928 under the former National Tsinghua University. In 1977, the first undergraduate program of Environmental Engineering in China was established at Tsinghua University. In 1984, the Department of Environmental Engineering was approved by Tsinghua University to be an independent department, and it evolved into the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering in 1997. In 2011, it finally developed into the School of Environment.

By the unremitting practices and endeavors of generations of SOE people, it has become a world-class talent training base and a high-level scientific research center in the field of environment. It was rated A+ in the discipline of Environmental Science and Engineering in 2017 and 2022 and has been ranked among the top 10 in the QS World University Rankings by the Subject of Environmental Sciences for four consecutive years. SOE have open positions in environmental studies. To know more, please go to its official website.
