Why Study at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China

Brief Introduction

Renowned as China’s cradle for the national electronic industry, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (formerly Chengdu Institute of Radio Engineering) is situated at Chengdu, the city of over a thousand-year-old cultural history in “the land of abundance”. 

1.History

In 1956, instructed by Premier Zhou Enlai, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China was founded on the basis of the incorporation of electronic divisions of the then three universities including Jiaotong Universities, Nanjing Institute of Technology and South China Institute of Technology. As one of the seven earliest key universities in national defense, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China became one of the nation’s key universities in 1960. Then, in 1997 it was included as one of the first universities into “Project 211”, a project in China for developing 100 first-class universities and a number of key fields of research for the 21st century. In 2001, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China was admitted into the nation’s Project 985, receiving special support for developing world-class universities and world-famous research-oriented universities.

Fifty years’ efforts and cultivation have witnessed the University’s process from sole dependence on electronic information engineering to all-around programs in electronic disciplines, and the University now turns out to be a key multidisciplinary university with electronic science and technology as its nucleus, engineering as its major field and featured the harmonious integration of science, engineering, management and liberal arts, well prepared at the call of the history to come up as a high-level research-oriented university. 

2. Discipline and programs 

University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is the only higher-education institution in China that covers all 6 “National Key Disciplines” in electronic and information science and technology. It has 22 Ministerial or Provincial Key Disciplines. University of Electronic Science and Technology of China provides 13 postdoctoral research station, 14 primary-discipline doctoral degree authorization centers, 66 secondary-discipline doctoral degree authorization centers, 25 primary-discipline master’s degree authorization centers, 101 secondary-discipline master’s degree authorization centers, it has been qualified to grant the engineering PhD degree in Electronic and information field.

3. Academic facilities and Scientific research 

University of Electronic Science and Technology of China currently employs over 3800 faculty members, including more than 445 professors.
