Programs

A four-year English-taught PhD in Sustainability Science and Technology at Westlake University in Hangzhou, combining environmental science, chemical engineering, and life sciences. Research includes renewable energy, pollution mitigation, biomanufacturing, environmental health, and carbon neutrality, with original projects on climate systems, pollution dynamics, and sustainable resource management.

A four-year English-taught PhD in Western Literature and Comparative Literature at Zhejiang Gongshang University. The programme centres on critical theory, cross-cultural literary interpretation, and interdisciplinary analysis of texts from multiple traditions.

Westlake University’s English-taught Summer Research Internship places international bachelor’s and master’s students—or recent graduates—in faculty labs for roughly four to six weeks (mid-July to mid-August in the published cycle). Projects span the Schools of Science, Engineering, Life Sciences, and Medicine across about 100 topics in 60–70 labs. Interns join research forums, interdisciplinary roundtables, and cultural activities in Hangzhou while working on doctoral-level problems with Westlake faculty.

This four-year joint PhD in Mathematics with Fudan University trains researchers in pure and applied mathematics at Westlake University’s Institute of Theoretical Sciences. Research areas include algebra, analysis, geometry, topology, number theory, differential equations, and computational mathematics. Students participate in seminars and international research exchanges while conducting original work under close faculty supervision.
