Jiangsu University stands in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, and came into being in August 2001, when the Ministry of Education approved the merger of the former Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Zhenjiang Medical College and Zhenjiang Teachers’ College into one comprehensive institution.
The university traces its lineage back to Sanjiang Normal School, established in 1902. One of the merged partners, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, had in 1978 been counted among the 88 key universities named by the State Council.
Besides schools such as medicine, mechanical engineering, business administration, law and pharmacy, the university also has Jingjiang College, an independent college that enrols roughly 10,000 to 12,000 undergraduates according to the figures in different sources. Total enrolment runs to tens of thousands of students, but published totals differ and carry no common reference year, so exact numbers, programmes and international admission rules should be taken from the university’s English-language website.
