I. Recruitment Department
The School of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry (School of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, School of Rural Revitalization) was founded on July 9, 2016 by integrating agriculture-related disciplines of Hainan University, under the care and support of the Hainan Provincial Committee and Provincial Government. Its history could be dated back to 1958, when the Department of Tropical Crop Cultivation was established at the College of South China Tropical Crops. With a history of over 60 years, the School of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry has achieved remarkable outcomes. In addition to the world-class construction disciplines, it has secured a series of internationally leading scientific and educational accomplishments, such as the large-scale successful cultivation of natural rubber within the 18°–24°N latitude belt, cultivated numerous professionals in tropical agricultural science and technology, and contributed considerably to the development of China’s tropical agricultural science and education base and to the regional economic growth of tropical areas.
The School always bears in mind the expectations set forth by General Secretary Xi Jinping, regards ‘building Crop Science into a world-class discipline’ as its core objective, and steadfastly shoulders the responsibility and mission of educating talent for the Party and the nation. Centered on cultivation of high-quality, top-notch, and innovative agricultural talent for the new era, it strives to ensure that where Hainan has needs, the School of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry delivers. With “Tropical High-Efficiency Agriculture” as its primary focus, the School is committed to expanding and strengthening this field. Its aim is to become an indispensable pillar supporting the industrial development strategy of “Tropical High-Efficiency Agriculture” and to lead the way in international higher education and disciplinary advancement in tropical agriculture and forestry.
The School of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry (School of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, School of Rural Revitalization) at Hainan University has a community of nearly 9,000 faculty members and students. Centered on tropical agriculture, the School boasts a comprehensive educational system, covering undergraduate, master, doctoral, and postdoctoral programs. Its aim is to build a world-class discipline in Crop Science and foster innovative research teams and industrial technology systems. By addressing the needs of the tropical high-efficiency agricultural industry, the School engages in technological research and achievements transformation, promoting the comprehensive development of the tropical agriculture discipline cluster.
The School adheres to a talent-driven development strategy and attaches great importance to the construction of its teaching faculty. Currently, there are 547 faculty and staff members, including 375 full-time teachers (10 from overseas). Among them, 298 hold doctoral degrees, 77 are full professors, and 172 are associate professors. Notably, the high-level teaching team comprises 7 national-level talents such as recipients of the “National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars,” 6 experts serving in the National Modern Agricultural Industry Technology System, 30 “Leading Talents” recognized by Hainan Province, and 2 nationally recognized teaching masters in forestry and grassland education.
The School upholds the philosophy of discipline-driven development and highlights the construction of disciplines and majors. Two of its disciplines, “Agricultural Sciences” and “Plant and Animal Sciences,” continue to rank among the top 1% globally in ESI rankings. The school consists of the faculties of Crop Science, Agricultural Resources and Environment, Plant Protection, Horticulture, Landscape Architecture, Forestry, Animal Science, Veterinary Medicine, Agricultural Education, and Rural Governance. It offers a doctoral program in a first-level discipline in Crop Science, master’s programs in disciplines in Crop Science, Horticulture, Agricultural Resources and Environment, Plant Protection, Animal Husbandry, and Forestry, as well as professional master degree programs in Landscape Architecture, Agronomy and Seed Industry, Resource Utilization and Plant Protection, Animal Husbandry, Veterinary Medicine, and Forestry. Crop Science has been selected for the first and second rounds of the national “World-Class Discipline” development list.
