Southwest Jiaotong University

Southwest Jiaotong University is a key national university directly under the Ministry of Education. It is among the first batch of universities to be included in the "Double First-Class" initiative, the "211 Project", the "985 Project Advantage Discipline Innovation Platform" and the "2011 Collaborative Innovation Program". It has a graduate school. Located in Chengdu, a famous historical and cultural city in China, a national central city and the core city of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin-City Economic Circle.

The school was founded in Shanhaiguan in 1896 and was originally called Imperial Chinese Railway College. It was the first institution of higher learning for engineering education in China and the birthplace of higher education in civil engineering, mining and metallurgical engineering, and transportation engineering. It was also one of the earliest sources of the first "Jiaotong University" in China in 1921. Since its establishment, the school has moved its location and changed its name several times, including Tangshan Road and Mine School, Tangshan Industrial School, Tangshan School of Jiaotong University, Tangshan University of Communications, Tangshan Jiaotong University, National Tangshan Institute of Technology, Tangshan Institute of Technology of China Jiaotong University, Tangshan Institute of Technology of Northern Jiaotong University, etc. In 1952, due to the adjustment of colleges and universities across the country, the school was renamed Tangshan Railway College, and a large number of renowned departments and groups were transferred to sister institutions such as Tsinghua University, Tianjin University, and University of Science and Technology Beijing. In 1964, in response to the call of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to build the "Great Third Line", the Ministry of Railways decided to move the school to Emei, Sichuan Province. In 1972, it was renamed Southwest Jiaotong University. In 1989, the main campus of the school was moved to Jiuli Campus in Chengdu. In 2002, a new campus was expanded in Xipu, Chengdu. In 2020, it cooperated with Chengdu City to build the Chengdu Eastern (International) Campus. It has four campuses in Jiuli, Xipu, Dongbu (International) and Emei, covering an area of more than 5,000 mu.
