Introduction to Kunming University of Science and Technology

Kunming University of Science and Technology (昆明理工大学, website) was founded in 1954 under the name “Kunming Institute of Technology”. In 1995, it was renamed “Kunming University of Science and Technology”. In 1999, the original Kunming University of Science and Technology merged with the former Yunnan University of Technology to form the new Kunming University of Science and Technology. After more than 60 years of development, it has now developed into a comprehensive, coordinated development of multi-disciplinary development, such as economics, management, philosophy, law, literature, art, medicine, agriculture, education, etc. The sex university is a university jointly established by the National Defense Science and Technology Industry Bureau and the People’s Government of Yunnan Province. It is also the key university in Yunnan Province with the largest scale, a full range of schools, and complete categories. It plays an important role in China’s nonferrous metal industry and regional economic and social development. When General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Yunnan in early 2015, he praised the school as a “National Famous University”. The school currently has three campuses of Chenggong, Lianhua and Xinying, covering an area of 3915 mu. The main campus is Chenggong campus, located in Chenggong University Town, Kunming.

With more than 60 years of construction and development, Kunming University of Science and Technology has now formed geological resources and geological engineering, mining engineering, metallurgical engineering, materials science and engineering, environmental science and engineering as the dominant disciplines, science, management science and engineering, machinery Engineering, civil engineering, architecture, mechanics, control science and engineering, information and communication engineering, computer science and technology, transportation engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering and technology, agricultural engineering and other supporting disciplines, biology, medicine, philosophy Distinguished subject groups with distinctive characteristics such as social sciences and other emerging disciplines. Since 2015, school engineering, materials science, and chemistry have entered the top 1% of the world’s ESI rankings; it has 1 national key discipline, 1 national key cultivation discipline, 23 provincial key disciplines, and provincial, provincial, and school cooperation. 9 key disciplines, 11 post-doctoral scientific research mobile stations, 5 provincial post-doctoral scientific research mobile stations, 18 first-level discipline doctoral sites (including 1 engineering doctoral degree), 41 first-level master’s programs, 41 master’s programs There are 21 types of degrees; there are 107 undergraduate majors and 1 second bachelor degree major.

Since its establishment, the school has trained more than 302,000 students.

Kunming University of Science and Technology has established educational exchanges and cooperation with more than 120 universities and scientific research institutions in more than 50 countries and regions. It has gradually formed its own characteristics and influence in engineering and management personnel training for the surrounding countries, international technology transfer, and high-level cooperative research for developed countries; it has organized Sino-foreign cooperative education projects with the University of Arkansas, USA; hired many foreign nationals The academician serves as the chief visiting professor, of which Jan Dean Miller, academician of the National Academy of Engineering, won the 2018 National International Science and Technology Cooperation Award and the 2019 Chinese Government Friendship Award; cooperated with Suvarnufong University in Laos to host the Confucius Institute, and Denmark’s Niels. Brooke Business School co-hosts the Copenhagen Business Confucius Classroom, and sets up overseas school projects in Laos and Thailand. It serves as a Chinese university in important international and regional cooperation mechanisms such as the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation, Asia-Europe Cooperation, China-ASEAN Cooperation, and the Greater Mekong Subregional Cooperation. The representative played an active role. The school will continue its efforts to deepen the opening up of education to the outside world, actively serve and integrate into the national “Belt and Road” initiative, and help Yunnan Province build a “radiation center for South Asia and Southeast Asia”.
