Hebei Medical University started to enroll graduate students in 1964, and after a pause as was the case with other universities in China, it resumed its enrollment in 1978. With the approval of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, Hebei Medical University became one of the first-batch of universities with the authority to confer Master’s Degrees in 1981, and gained the authority to confer doctoral degrees in 1986. In 1998, Hebei Medical University was approved as a pilot unit for conferring professional master’s degree in Clinical Medicine, and in 1999 it established the first post-doctoral research station in Hebei Province.
