Talents Training
The school has established international cooperation with University of Reading, Florida state university and so on. The school have edited the English version of 《Journal of Information and Computing Science》and 《World Journal of Modelling and Simulation》, organized a series of international meetings and seminars, and undertaken extensive academic exchange and cooperation.Additionally, the school has 12 foreign part-time specially-appointed professors, who work in the university between one month and three months every year. The school also co-supervise graduates with cooperative universities abroad and carry out leading lectures and a series of seminars which build rich academic atmosphere. 61.5% students from the joint international curriculum experimental class have been enrolled in the global 200 universities.
Degree Programs
The school enrolls more than 130 doctors and postgraduates every year. The postgraduates received good social evaluations. Many postgraduates receive excellent dissertation of Jiangsu Province, and the excellent ratio for the postgraduate dissertations rank up to the top in the Jiangsu Province.
The postgraduate education receives many awards such as “second award for postgraduate training mode reformation of Jiangsu Province”(2015), “second award for postgraduate educational reformation achievement of Jiangsu Province”(2017), “first award for NPMCM”, etc.
The school has more than 800 undergraduates. Recently the school closely focus on the need for talents with basic foundation in the field of territorial economy and meteorology, and the urgent need for newly arisen industries from the market, such as high performance calculation, cloud computing and big data, combine the advantage of atmospheric sciences and information discipline and international resources, and construct multicultural talent cultivation model. The school adheres to talent cultivation orientation of “elite, internationality, technique”, adopts the cultivation method of “enrolling as major, cultivating from large subject, diverting by interest” and opened many characteristic class in accordance with the need of the society, including: “atmospheric science mathematical class”, “information and computing science (international curriculum experimental class)”, “mathematics and applied mathematics (mathematics and meteorology Changwang international advanced class)” and “NUIST Reading Academy mathematics and applied mathematics class”.
The school receives many awards in undergraduate talent training, such as“first award for national teaching achievement”(2014), unique CUMCM highest award “Higher Education Press Trophy” (2011), MCM/ICM outstanding award (2012,2018), “outstanding award for teaching achievement of Jiangsu Province”(2011)/ “first award for teaching achievement of Jiangsu Province”(2017)/ “second award for teaching achievement of Jiangsu Province”(2013). The school also receives many awards as national brand curriculum, excellent curriculum of Jiangsu Province, key textbook of Jiangsu Province, excellent textbook of China Meteorological Administration.
The employment rate of graduates is over 99.7%, in which the high quality employment rate is over 98.2%. The graduates are engaged in research, teaching and technology development in the field of government agencies, research institution, education, IT, meteorology, finances and so on.
