Overview



The College of Life Sciences at Beijing Normal University possesses two national key disciplines (Cell Biology and Ecology) and one Beijing municipal key discipline (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology). The school is among the first group approved to award doctoral degrees in Biology (first-level discipline) in China. The school now has nine programs for PhD education and fourteen programs for master’s degree education.
