📖 About the university

Wuhan Qingchuan University is a private undergraduate institution at 9 Yuping Avenue in the Zhonghua science and technology industrial park of Wuhan's East Lake High-Tech Development Zone, the district known as China's Optics Valley. It was founded in 2006 as the Luojia College of Wuhan University — Luojia being the name of that elite university's hill — created jointly by Wuhan University, the Wuhan Contemporary science and technology group and a Beijing investment company; in 2016 the Ministry of Education approved its conversion and renaming as Qingchuan College, after a famous line of Tang poetry about the sunlit river plain of Wuhan. The school teaches close to 14,000 students in ten teaching units, including schools of design engineering, computer science, mechanical and electrical engineering, accounting, foreign languages, business and media arts, and a distinctive Beidou School of electronic information named for China's satellite-navigation system. The faculty numbers 588 full-time and about 109 visiting teachers, some 40 of whom are doctoral supervisors or State Council special-allowance experts, and nearly 90 per cent of teachers hold master's degrees or higher. Its Optics Valley location surrounds students with electronics, software and navigation employers. Teaching is in Chinese and enrolment is domestic.

🌆 About Wuhan

Wuhan is the capital of Hubei province and the largest city in central China, formed from three historic towns where the Yangtze and Han rivers meet. With a metropolitan population of around 13 million, it is a major hub for transport, industry, and higher education, home to a dense concentration of universities. The climate is humid subtropical and known for very hot, humid summers that earn it a reputation as one of China's furnaces, along with cold, damp winters. Landmarks include the historic Yellow Crane Tower, the vast East Lake, the pioneering Yangtze River Bridge, and the snack-lined Hubu Alley. Local food is famous for hot dry noodles, Wuchang fish, and spicy duck neck. An expanding metro network, Tianhe International Airport, and a central high-speed rail position make it one of the country's best-connected cities.
