Automation >>>>> (Joint Program with Baltic Ustinov National Strength Military Technical College of Russia)

The program falls under the field of Engineering, is a Bachelor's degree program with a duration of four years, and awards a Bachelor of Engineering degree.

Core Courses

Russian Reading, Russian Listening and Speaking, Russian Mathematics, Circuit Theory, Basics of Automation Design, Principles of Automatic Control and Basics of Automatic Control Systems, Electric Motor Drive and Hydraulic Drive, Electrical Control and PLC Applications, Mechatronic System Design, Robotics Production Technology, etc.

Career Prospects

Graduates can engage in teaching, research, system design, maintenance, management, and trade-related work in the field of automation at universities, research institutions, enterprises, and Sino-Russia cooperative organizations. After graduation, students can also pursue Master’s degrees in Russia. In the past four years, 92 students from this program have been admitted to Master’s programs at Russian universities, with 87 students successfully applying for the Chinese government’s China Scholarship Council (CSC) funding, achieving a remarkable 94.6% success rate in receiving government-sponsored scholarships for postgraduate studies abroad.

Partner University

Baltic Ustinov National Strength Military Technical College of Russia (formerly Leningrad Military Mechanical Institute) is a leading technical college in Russia, known for its advanced research in mechanical engineering, electronics, mechatronics, automation, and laser technologies. Over its long and proud history, the college has trained more than 70,000 high-level engineers for Russia's national defense and industrial sectors, including designers of equipment systems, weapons, ammunition; leaders of defense enterprises; outstanding political figures and statesmen; and cosmonauts. In 1957, a group of outstanding graduates from the college participated in the development and launch of the world’s first artificial satellite, "Sputnik 1." Heroic and renowned cosmonauts such as Glechiko and Korolev both graduated from this institution.

Training Model

During their studies, students will receive some course instruction from Baltic Ustinov National Strength Military Technical College of Russia. Students can choose to study abroad under an inter-university exchange program, where they spend the first two years at Changchun University studying their major and Russian language. Students who reach the required Russian proficiency and meet academic criteria can choose to continue their undergraduate studies at Baltic Ustinov National Strength Military Technical College of Russia in the third year. Upon successful completion and meeting degree requirements, they will receive a dual degree: a Bachelor’s degree and a diploma from both Changchun University (China) and Baltic Ustinov National Strength Military Technical College (Russia), which is recognized by the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE) of the Ministry of Education. If a student completes all four years at Changchun University, and meets the academic requirements and conditions for degree conferral, they will be awarded a Bachelor's degree certificate and diploma in higher education from Changchun University.

Program Features

In the process of training automation professionals, efforts are made to actively integrate Russian educational resources, establishing an innovative curriculum system that combines "professional knowledge + Russian language proficiency." Given that students start learning Russian from the basics, a "professional bridge course" has been specially designed, closely linked to the automation program. Taught by Russian faculty, this course covers areas such as physics, mathematics, and the fundamentals of automation, providing a solid foundation for students' future specialized studies.
