Brief History

In 1960, Huazhong Institute of Technology was assessed as one of the state key universities.

In 1966, the comprehensive strength of Huazhong Institute of Technology greatly improved. There are 6 departments, 20 undergraduate programs, 1097 teachers and 1664 staff. The students number 6087. The annual research expenditure reached 0.9 million yuan. The Institute was characterized of multidisciplinary technology institute, focusing on the education of undergraduate programs.

In 1971, most departments and staff of the former Wuhan Mechanical Institute were merged into Huazhong Institute of Technology

Huazhong Institute of Technology is the first technological institute where the discipline of liberal arts was established. Some liberal arts and social sciences institutions were aftermath set up such as Chinese Language Research Institute, Philosophy Research Institute,Economics Research Institute and Sociology Research Institute.

In 1978, Huazhong Institute of Technology began to recruit postgraduate students again. 181 graduate tudents were enrolled in that year.

In 1979, the Department of Management Engineering was set up.·In 1982, the university motto came into being. The motto "Unity, Reality, Strictness and Initiation" had been guiding all the faculty and students since then.

In July 1984, Graduate School was set up. The education of graduate students took on a new look.

In 1987, the discipline of Chinese Language & Literature was set up.

In 1988, Huazhong Institute of Technology was renamed Huazhong University of Science & Technology under the approval of the State Education Committee.

In 1994, Huazhong University of Science & Technology initially implemented the education of humanity quality towards students.

On May 26, 2000, a new Huazhong University of Science & Technology, a merger of the former HUST, the former Tongji Medical University , the former Wuhan Urban Construction Institute and the former Wuhan Science & Technology Vocational College, was established.
