Introduction to Wuhan University of Science and Technology
Located in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province and the largest city in central China, Wuhan University of Science and Technology (武汉科技大学, WUST, website) is a key public higher learning institution claiming traditional strengths in engineering and sciences, which are integrated with contemporary popular disciplines such as medicine, economics, management, humanities, art, law, and philosophy. The University dates back to Hubei gongyi xuetang (Hubei Technical Institute) founded in 1898 by Zhang Zhidong (1837-1909), Viceroy of Huguang Province in China’s late Qing Dynasty. It began offering undergraduate degrees in 1958 upon the establishment of Wuhan Iron and Steel Institute, the University’s forerunner in the modern times. In 1995 the institution was granted university status and was renamed Wuhan Yejin (metallurgical) University of Science and Technology when Wuhan Iron and Steel Institute merged with other two local colleges under the then Ministry of Metallurgy, PRC. The University acquired its current name in 1999 following its 1998 handover from China’s Ministry of Metallurgy to the local Hubei Provincial Government for main administration. Since late 2013 WUST has come to operate under the joint aegis of Hubei Provincial Government, Ministry of Education of PRC and 5 largest mega steel enterprises in China.
WUST is a forward-looking university with a global vision. It has now forgedpartnerships with more than 30 overseas universities and institutions:Electronic and Information Engineering Program in cooperation with University of Bridgeport; Mechanical Engineering Program with Deakin University; Network Engineering Program with Birmingham City University.
