Anhui University of Technology

Located in Maanshan, Anhui province, Anhui University of Technology was founded in 1958 as Maanshan Iron and Steel School, and it was merged with East China Metallurgic Institute and Anhui Business Junior College and given its current name in 2000.

Jointly supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology and Anhui provincial government, it has grown into a comprehensive university majoring in engineering courses, and has an adopted all-round discipline system covering engineering, science, economics, management, literature, law and art.

Occupying 170 hectares, the university has two campuses – Jiashan and Xiushan – with its library having more than 2.18 million paper books. The total value of the university's teaching and research equipment is 430 million yuan ($61 million).

By the end of June 2019, the university had set up 17 colleges and departments offering 62 undergraduate degree programs. It also has 17 master's degrees in first-tier disciplines, two doctoral degrees in first-tier disciplines, and one postdoctoral research station. There are 2,025 faculty members, including 225 teachers with senior titles and 615 with doctoral degrees. It has 21,749 full-time undergraduates, 2,719 postgraduates and 380 international students.

Sticking to the development of discipline construction, the university's three disciplines–material science, engineering science and chemistry–entered the top 1 percent of the world's academic institutions, according to data released by the Essential Science Indicators (ESI) in May 2019. It currently has 26 scientific research platforms at or above provincial and ministerial level.

At the same time, the university has focused on promoting international communication and exchanges, establishing cooperative relationships with nearly 100 universities at home and abroad. It has conducted a wide range of international scientific collaborative projects with the European Union and South Korea. The university also actively engages in the Belt and Road Talent Training Programs, all of which have further expanded the international influence of the university.
