About Nanjing University
Founded in 1902, Nanjing University (NJU) is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher learning in China. With the motto of 'Sincerity with Aspiration, Perseverance with Integrity,' this university carries the spirit of constant striving for educational and academic excellence.

Situated in the old capital city of Nanjing, Nanjing University (NJU) has a one-hundred-year-long history and enjoys high prestige. It evolved from Sanjiang Normal School (established in 1902) and integrated with Jinling University (established in 1888) in 1951.

Since China opened its door to the outside world, NJU has been full of vitality in meeting unprecedented historical challenges and opportunities. It was among the first top universities to be selected for prioritized support by the Central Government of China under “211 Project” and “985 Project”. Nanjing University was selected by the General Office of the State Council as one of the first group of National Demonstration Bases for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. NJU has been selected as among Category A universities under National Double First Class Initiative, while 15 subject areas of NJU are on the same list. As a member of the C9 League (an alliance of nine elite universities in China), NJU is known for its outstanding faculty, coordinated disciplines, and excellent research, and is recognized as a leading university with academic strength and social prestige. NJU’s mission is to cultivate talents, seek truth, serve society, and inherit and transmit Chinese culture. Its aim is to become a world-class research university of Chinese characteristics and NJU style, and to make contributions to the Chinese nation and the international community.
