College of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Zhejiang University was founded in 1927 by Prof. Shou-heng Li, the pioneer of chemical engineering education in China. As the first Chemical Engineering College ever established, we have been consistently ranked as one of the best in China.

The college comprises 6 institutes: Institute of Chemical Engineering, UNILAB Research Center for Chemical Reaction Engineering, Institute of Polymer and Polymerization Engineering, Institute of Bioengineering, Institute of Pharmaceutical Engineering, and Institute of Industrial Ecology and Environment.

The college houses three national key laboratories and several research centers: State Key Laboratory of Chemical Engineering at Zhejiang University, National Laboratory of Secondary Resources Chemical Engineering, National and Local Joint Engineering Laboratory for Industrial Biocatalysis, Key Laboratory of Biomass Chemical Engineering（Zhejiang University）, Ministry of Education, Engineering Laboratory for Industrial Biocatalysis of Zhejiang Province, Engineering Research Center of Membrane and Water Treatment Technology(MOE)(joint with the department of Polymer Science and Engineering). In addition, Chemical Engineering is recognized as the national key programs, Biochemical Engineering as the national key breeding program, Biochemical Engineering, Applied Chemistry and Industrial Catalysis as the key programs of Zhejiang Province.

We offer PhD programs in the general area of Chemical Engineering and Technology. At the post-doctoral level, we have the authority to host postdoctoral scholars in Chemical Engineering and Technology, Bioengineering.
