Tsinghua University 's predecessor, Tsinghua College, was founded in 1911 and was renamed Tsinghua School in 1912. It was renamed National Tsinghua University in 1928. After the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1937, it moved south to Changsha and, together with Peking University and Nankai University, formed the National Changsha Temporary University. In 1938, it moved to Kunming and was renamed the National Southwest Associated University. In 1946, it moved back to Tsinghua Garden and had five colleges and 26 departments, including liberal arts, law, science, engineering and agriculture.
After the national college department adjustment in 1952, Tsinghua University became a multi-disciplinary industrial university, focusing on training engineering and technical talents for the country, and was known as the "cradle of red engineers". Since the reform and opening up, Tsinghua University has gradually set its long-term goal of building a world-class university and entered a new period of vigorous development. The university has successively restored or established disciplines in science, economics, management and liberal arts, and set up a graduate school and a school of continuing education. In 1999, it merged with the Central Academy of Arts and Design to form the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University. In 2012, the former graduate School of the People's Bank of China was merged into PBC School of Finance, Tsinghua University. With the strong support of the state and society, Tsinghua University has made remarkable progress in talent cultivation, scientific research, social services, cultural inheritance and innovation, and international cooperation and exchange through the implementation of the "Project 211", "Project 985" and "Double First-Class" initiative. At present, Tsinghua University has 20 colleges and 58 departments, and has become a comprehensive research university with 11 disciplines including science, engineering, literature, art, history, philosophy, economics, management, law, education and medicine.
Looking ahead, Tsinghua University will continue to uphold its motto of "Self-improvement and Virtue" and its spirit of "Actions speak more than words", its educational style of "integration of Chinese and Western, integration of ancient and modern, infiltration of liberal arts and science" and its educational characteristics of "Red and Specialized, all-round development", and its traditions of "patriotism and dedication, pursuit of excellence" and the spirit of "humanistic renewal" Strive to take the lead in building world-class universities and make new and greater contributions to the development of the country, the happiness of the people and the progress of human civilization.
