The School of Marine Sciences, Ningbo University, adheres to the teaching philosophy of “advocating practice and valuing both knowledge and action”. The School is a benchmark department for party building in national universities and a supporting school for constructing a national first-class discipline group at Ningbo University. The School was established in November 2011, and the National Oceanic Administration and the Ningbo Municipal Government jointly established maritime-related disciplines at Ningbo University. Formerly known as the College of Life Sciences and Bioengineering, it was formed by merging the Department of Fisheries at Zhejiang Fisheries University and the Department of Biology at Ningbo Normal University. The school has a history going back 60 years. The School has never forgotten its original intention and mission, closely focused on the national blue granary and rural revitalization strategy, adhered to the leadership of party building featuring the “dual integration and promotion of party building+disciplines (group)”, and continuously refined the characteristics of disciplines to realize high-quality development.
