Wuhan University of Technology
A public university that found in Wuhan, Hubei is known as the Wuhan University of Technology (WHUT). The Ministry of Education provides financial support to the university.
The Wuhan Industrial Institution, the Wuhan University of Transportation Technology, and the Wuhan University of Automotive Industry merged into one university in the year 2000, becoming the present-day Wuhan University.
This educational establishment is both an institution for Project 211 and a Double First Class University under the Double First Class University Plan.
When Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang at the time, approached the Qing government in 1898 with his proposal to build Hubei Institution of Technology, the school's history began. Formerly known as Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan Transportation University, and Wuhan Automotive Polytechnic University, the present-day Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) was established on May 27, 2000. The histories of each of these three institutions are distinct and significant in their own ways.
The university now has 23 academic schools, 9 state essential subjects, 74 Doctoral programmes, 135 Master's programmes, and 82 Bachelor's degrees amongst them all. WUT has around 5,570 individuals on its personnel, including 650 professors, three academicians from the China Academy of Engineering, and three academicians from the China Academy of Science. In addition, Western University of Health Sciences is home to more than 36,000 undergraduate students, 16,000 postgraduate students (including Master's and PhD students), and 327 overseas students.
The university has developed substantial academic connections with more than sixty other universities and institutes located in other countries. The university has invited more than one hundred of the world's most renowned foreign intellectuals to teach at the institution in the capacity of Concurrent or Honorary Professor, and it often welcomes professionals, researchers, and professors from other nations or areas to lecture or conduct research. Each year, the institution also sends a number of its faculty members, including professors, lecturers, and scholars, to other countries in order for them to attend academic conferences and do research there. Some of them have been invited to serve in the capacity of Guest Professor, Special Professor, or Lecturer at universities located in other countries. Since the year 1950, when the university first started to accept students from other nations, it has conferred bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and certificates of completion for further education on students from more than ten countries.
