The three-year PhD in Fishery Resources covers sustainable fisheries management, aquatic ecosystems, and resource conservation. It trains students for roles in universities, government agencies, and environmental organisations.

The PhD in Forest is a three-year English-taught programme centred on forest ecology, management, and conservation. It supports interdisciplinary research addressing environmental issues and prepares students for careers in research, academia, and environmental institutions.

This four-year PhD programme explores forest gene groups and bioinformatics. It applies genetic and computational approaches to forest genetic resource management and biodiversity conservation. Research questions relate directly to ecological sustainability and forest management.

This four-year PhD programme addresses forest genetics and tree breeding. Core topics include genetic mechanisms in trees, breeding methodologies, and ecological restoration techniques. Students engage with research and professional practice in forestry, particularly around sustainable management of forest resources.

A four-year, English-taught PhD in Forest Management at Nanjing Forestry University in Nanjing. The programme focuses on sustainable forest practices and ecological conservation, building research capacity within NJFU’s academic environment.

A four-year English-taught PhD in Forest Protection at Nanjing Forestry University, centred on conservation and sustainable forest ecosystem management. Research and study address ecological balance, biodiversity, and forest responses to climate change, integrating fieldwork with theoretical learning.

A four-year English-taught PhD in Forestry at Northeast Forestry University, focused through the College of Forestry. Research is conducted under faculty supervision and covers forest science, management, and related natural resource disciplines.

A four-year English-taught PhD in Ground Water Science and Technology at Jilin University. Research areas include groundwater modelling, contamination assessment, and sustainable water resource management. The programme develops advanced hydrological research capabilities for careers in academia, government, and industry.

This PhD in Groundwater and Environment in Arid Areas studies aquifer dynamics, solute transport, and contamination control under low-rainfall conditions. Field and modelling approaches support environmental management in dryland settings.

A four-year PhD integrating hydraulics and aquatic environmental science, where students conduct original research at the intersection of fluid dynamics and ecosystem-related water issues.

The PhD in Hydrological Ecology and Water Security in Arid Areas at Chang’an University examines water resource dynamics, ecological relationships, and sustainability issues in dryland environments. It integrates hydrological science with ecological theory for arid-region contexts.

A four-year PhD in Integrated Management of Marine Resources, Interests and Rights, delivered in English at Ocean University of China in Qingdao. The programme addresses sustainable marine resource management, policy formulation, and stakeholder involvement through interdisciplinary study and international collaboration.

A four-year English-taught PhD in Land Resource Management at Central China Normal University. The programme addresses sustainable land use and environmental management through interdisciplinary study linking geography, ecology, and resource economics.
