Civil and Transportation

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING 

With its origins in the Hunan Advanced Industrial College, established in 1903, CSU’s rail transit academic cluster includes transport and civil engineering programmes. New technologies and systems developed by our researchers range from train structure design and safety testing systems, to railway bridge and subgrade design. Their work underpins the safety of high-speed trains, increases their speed, and extends their service life.

Non-ferrous metals

On the strength of 100 years of mineral studies performed by Hunan Industrial College, CSU has built the world’s most comprehensive academic cluster around nonferrous metals, ranging from geology and mining, to metallurgy, materials science and machinery engineering.

GEOLOGY 

Access to the Earth’s rich mineral resources is limited by prospecting technologies. China’s deep Earth exploration plan develops equipment and methods to explore at two to five kilometres underground.

How useful is an undergraduate degree?

Large numbers of degree-educated Brits end up working in a different field, but a majority still say university was worthwhile

This year’s university applicants must make their final choices by tomorrow (18 June) despite uncertainties over whether teaching will be moved online. Can they learn anything from how degree-educated Brits feel about their studies now?

The good news first: Most people with a degree say going to university was worthwhile. Gaining knowledge and skills is the reason that ranks highest among graduates at 87%.
