Anhui University of Science and Technology is a university in Huainan, in China’s Anhui Province. Its history goes back to 1945, when an industrial vocational school was set up in Bengbu.
The school changed form several times before reaching its present shape. It was raised to a mining institute in 1955 and was renamed Hefei University of Technology in 1958, so the two universities share origins. In 1971 its mining and geology departments moved to Huainan. The present name has been in use since 2002.
The university is co-built by the Anhui provincial government and China’s Ministry of Emergency Management. The directory profile lists mining engineering, safety science and engineering, and surveying and geomatics among its main fields of study. Because campus arrangements and academic units have been reorganised in recent years, current programme lists and admission rules are best checked on the university’s own Chinese-language and English pages.
