1. General Information

Taiyuan University of Science and Technology (TYUST) established in 1952 is one of the earliest universities in the People¡¯s Republic of China for both education and research. It is situated on the west side of Fen River in Taiyuan, a historical cultural city of China. Having belonged to the National Mechanical Industry Department, the University is now under the administration of the Ministry of Education and Shanxi Province. After fifty years of development, it has become a multidisciplinary comprehensive university of Science, Engineering, Art, Administration, Law and Education.

2. History

The University, under the direct administration of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, was set up in 1952 and began to recruit undergraduates in 1953.

In 1981, it began to recruit master degree students and was one of the second batch of universities in China accredited to grant master degree.

In 1998, during the Management System Reform of Higher Education, the University became a higher education institution that was administrated by both the Central Ministries and Shanxi Province, and mainly by Shanxi Province.

In 2004, with the approval of Ministry of Education, the University changed its name into Taiyuan University of Science and Technology.
