(1) History
The history of China University of Mining and Technology began in the early twentieth century, as one of the earliest institutions where China’s higher education in mining took shape. With over 100 years of imperial glory, it has borne witness to China’s history and vicissitudes of the times. It was known as Jiaozuo School of Railroad and Mines which was founded by Peking Syndicate Limited in 1909. After moving 14 times from one place to another, renamed 12 times, it has finally got its present name as China University of Mining and Technology. The history of our university is not only a mirror of its development, but also a miniature of modern higher education in mining in China. As the first higher learning institution in mining in China, its development has always been closely linked with the destiny of the country and the ever-changing society.
(2) Discipline and programs
China University of Mining and Technology offers 59 undergraduate programs, 35 first-level discipline master programs, 9 professional degree programs, 16 first-level doctoral programs, and 14 post-doctoral programs. The university now has one key first-grade discipline and 8 key disciplines rated by the Chinese government as priorities on the national educational agenda, and 1national key incubated discipline. In addition, there are 8 disciplines in which Special-term Professors are hired under “Changjiang Scholars Program”, 4first-grade key disciplines on the ministerial or provincial level, and 5 disciplines which have obtained the approval of “Advantageous Discipline Construction Program in Universities in Jiangsu Province”.
