【2019 China’s Best Universities Comprehensive Ranking】A total of 16 petroleum-related universities made it into the ranking based on overall strength. Among them, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), China University of Geosciences (Beijing), China University of Petroleum (East China), and China University of Petroleum (Beijing) are among the top 100.
In terms of the quality of students, four petroleum-related universities—China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), Yanshan University, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), and China University of Petroleum (East China)—made it into the top 100 nationwide. This indicator is a comprehensive reflection of a university’s reputation in talent cultivation, and it also gives an indirect indication of the competition level among students applying to petroleum-related programs in the college entrance examination.
Training results (graduate employment rate): In terms of graduate employment rates, petroleum universities perform excellently. Among them, Guangdong University of Petrochemical Technology has ranked first among petroleum-related universities for many consecutive years, with Changzhou University and China University of Petroleum (Beijing) following closely behind.
Social reputation (social donation revenue in thousands of yuan): Social reputation is measured using the total income from donations from alumni and non-alumni, which serves as an indicator of the quality of talent training provided by universities and indirectly reflects their social reputation. Among these institutions, only Southwest Petroleum University made it into the top 100 nationwide.
Research scale (number of papers). In terms of the number of papers, petroleum-related universities perform well, with 6 of them making it into the top 100.
Research quality (paper quality·FWCI): Research quality refers to the impact of standardized research papers in a particular field, measured as Field Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI for short). In this regard, Guangdong University of Petrochemical Technology, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), and China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) rank among the top three petroleum-related universities.
As a graduate of the Petroleum Engineering program at Liaoning University of Petroleum and Chemical Technology, class of 2014, I would say that the quality of applicants to our school is lowered by a large number of students with low scores who were admitted as a result of expanded enrollment policies. The average score of applicants for the school’s strong programs is still decent, being around 30 points above the threshold for first-tier universities in Liaoning Province
Especially before Liaoning Province adopted the system of determining scores first and then submitting applications, there were many students in the province with college entrance exam scores approaching 600 who applied for these competitive majors.
