The school now has one first-level discipline doctoral degree authorization point, two first-level master's programs, three professional master's degree programs, three undergraduate programs, and one postdoctoral station. In 2013, our discipline of Light Industry Technology and Engineering was approved as a key prominent discipline by Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region(GZAR) and Guangxi University. And in 2017, it was elected as the first-class discipline of Guangxi. In 2013, the discipline of Food Science and Engineering was approved as a key discipline by the university. Light Chemical Engineering was selected into the First-Class Majors Construction Sites, a national key program of higher education, and a high-quality special major of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region(GZAR). Packaging Engineering was also selected into the First-Class Majors Construction Sites and was listed as a First-Class discipline with advantages and characteristics of GZAR. Likewise, Food Science and Engineering has won titles of different levels. At the same time, it was selected as an urgently needed major in the autonomous region.
The School of Light Industry and Food Engineering adheres to the goal of enhancing scientific, technological and collaborative innovation by building a high-level scientific research platform that combines study, research and production. The school has a total of 1.2 hectares of laboratory space, with a total equipment value of more than 130 million yuan. The 3,000 sets of instruments and equipment include nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, transmission electron microscope, gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography.
The school continues to refine its characteristics and give full play to its advantages through discipline development, scientific research, student education and social service. All these endeavors are for a better and brighter future.
