Programs

A four-year English-taught PhD in Geology at China University of Petroleum (East China), focused on research in sedimentology, structural geology, basin analysis, or petroleum geology.

This four-year PhD programme builds expertise in geological sciences, with research supported by university facilities including a mobile marine laboratory system. It develops analytical and field-based skills applicable to earth surface and subsurface processes. The scope includes both terrestrial and marine geological settings.

This PhD programme centres on geophysical methods and their application to subsurface characterisation, particularly in energy-related contexts. It is a four-year, English-taught research degree offered by China University of Petroleum (East China) in Qingdao. Supervised original research forms the core of the programme.

A four-year English-taught PhD in Marine Biology at Ocean University of China, Qingdao, centred on marine ecosystems and biological processes, supported by mobile marine laboratory systems and grounded in the university’s oceanography and fisheries strengths.

This four-year PhD programme studies chemical processes in marine environments, including marine biogeochemistry and environmental chemistry. Research draws on oceanographic processes and is supported by research vessels and international collaboration. The work connects molecular-scale reactions to large-scale ocean systems.

Ocean University of China in Qingdao provides a four-year English-taught PhD in Marine Geology. The programme investigates geological processes in marine settings, combining geology and oceanography, with research supported by advanced marine infrastructure.

This four-year PhD programme covers marine geophysics, including seismic analysis and ocean floor mapping. It integrates theory with applied research using the university’s marine facilities. The focus lies on understanding physical properties and processes of the seabed and sub-seabed.

A four-year English-taught PhD in Microbiology at Ocean University of China, Qingdao, advancing microbial science through theoretical and practical approaches, especially as applied to marine, environmental, and health-related issues.

The four-year PhD in Pharmaceutical Chemistry focuses on chemical processes and molecular mechanisms underlying drug development. Students engage with medicinal chemistry, drug design strategies, and analytical methods used in pharmaceutical research.

A four-year English-taught PhD in Physics at Qingdao University Qdu in Qingdao, involving original research guided by faculty supervisors.

A four-year English-taught PhD in Physics and Optical Information Science at Ocean University of China, Qingdao. Core content spans physics principles and optical technologies, with research opportunities in quantum optics and photonic systems. Students have access to advanced facilities and are encouraged to engage in interdisciplinary projects.

This four-year PhD programme, delivered by the College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, addresses resources and environment through an environmental science lens. It applies interdisciplinary methods to sustainable resource management and environmental challenges. Research spans chemical analysis, process modelling, and policy-relevant assessment.

The four-year English-taught PhD in System Theory at Qingdao University focuses on theoretical and applied research in systems analysis, modelling, and control, conducted under faculty guidance.

A four-year English-taught PhD in Zoology at Shandong Normal University. Research explores animal resistance physiology and immune mechanisms, with application of immunological techniques to questions in animal biology.

A four-year, English-taught PhD in Zoology at Ocean University of China in Qingdao. Research is conducted independently under faculty guidance.
