Chongqing University
was founded in 1929 with the vision of
building a “well-equipped and
influential university”. By the 1940s,
the University had developed into a
comprehensive university with a complete
system of disciplines covering liberal
arts, science, engineering, business,
jurisprudence, and medicine, etc. In
1952, it became a multi-disciplinary
university with focus on engineering
disciplines after a round of nationwide
faculty adjustment. In 1960, it was
designated as a national key university.
Since the Opening-up and Reform, the
University has evolved into a higher
education institution that mainly
consists of engineering disciplines
together with multiple other disciplines
after all-around restoration,
adjustment, reform, and construction. In
1998, the university was approved as a
university for key construction under
the state “Project 211”. In 2000, former
Chongqing Jianzhu University and
Chongqing Architecture Junior College
merged with Chongqing University,
together constituting the new Chongqing
University. In 2001, it became a
university for key construction under
the state “Project 985”. In 2017, it was
elected as a state “Class-A University
under the National World-First-Rate
University Construction Program”. In
2022, it was elected as a “Double
First-class University” in the second
round assessment. Hence, the University
has entered a new era, striding toward
the educational goal of a world-class
university with Chinese characteristics.
Chongqing University has a full range of
disciplines, covering 11 categories,
namely science, engineering, economics,
management, jurisprudence, literature,
history, philosophy, medicine,
education, and art. Now the University
has 7 faculties, 35 schools, and 7
affiliated hospitals. The number of
faculty and staff is over 5,300 persons,
the student population is over 50,000
persons among whom over 24,000 are
