Recently, the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council issued the "Notice on the List of Revoked and Added Degree-Granting Programs for the 2026 Annual Dynamic Adjustment," and Heilongjiang University successfully obtained approval for a master's professional degree-granting program in intellectual property, achieving a breakthrough from zero for such a professional degree-granting program in Heilongjiang Province, marking a landmark achievement in the university's professional degree development.

The intellectual property degree program at Heilongjiang University closely serves the national strategy of building an intellectual property powerhouse, the revitalization of Northeast China, and the practical needs of regional intellectual property protection. With the discipline of law as its core, it cross-integrates disciplinary resources such as theoretical economics, applied economics, and information resource management, and focuses on the entire chain of intellectual property creation, protection, utilization, management, and services to cultivate high-level applied intellectual property talent with solid theoretical foundations and strong practical capabilities.

The approval of this degree program strongly supports the university's construction of urgently needed blank disciplines for the provincial "Double First-Class" initiative, further improves and perfects the graduate degree authorization system, and holds important practical significance for optimizing the layout of the university's law discipline category.

Next, the university will rely on the intellectual property degree program platform to strengthen key tasks such as faculty teams, curriculum systems, and practical education platforms, deepen industry-education integration and collaborative education, continuously improve the quality of graduate training, and deliver high-level talent for the high-quality development of Heilongjiang Province's intellectual property cause.
