The university currently houses the 14 schools and 3 departments:The School of Civil Engineering The School of Automatization & Electric Engineering The School of Electronics & Information Engineering The School of Mechatronic Engineering The School of Environmental & Municipal Engineering The School of Economics & Management The School of Traffic and Transportation The School of Chemical & Biological Engineering The School of Foreign Languages The School of Mathematics, Physics & Software Engineering The School of Architecture & Urban Planning The School of Art and Design The School of Continuing Education The School of International Joint Education Social Science Department Chinese Language Department Physical Education Department

  14. LZJTU has been entitled to grantbachelor’s degrees in 46 majorsmaster’s degrees in 60 majorsdoctoral degrees in 12 majors.Among them, 8 are the key disciplines in provincial level.

  15. The university has been taking radical measures to enhance scientific research and technical development.In the past 5 years, the university has taken on 1,258 scientific research projects, including 17 national ones and 275 provincial/ministerial ones, with funds totaling 220 million yuan (US$27.5 million).

  16. “The China Railway Computerized Ticket Booking System”, which the university participated in its designing and development, won a first prize for State scientific and technological advancement.“Theoretical Research and Execution Project of Engineering Designing in Qinghai-Tibet High Altitude and Cold Areas”, in which the University actively participated, won a second prize in the same competition.

  17. The University also participated in the constructions of Qinghai-Tibet Railroad on some designing tasks and surveys.

  18. The Lanzhou Jiaotong University Science and Technology District, covering an area of 222.25 mu (36.61 acres), has been built, to cultivate more high-tech personnel and to be as a base to practice the new technologies.

  19. LZJTU has always given priority to international scientific research, co-operation and academic exchanges.
