Kunming University of Science and Technology (KMUST) (昆明理工大学) is in Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan Province, Southwestern China.
As the goal by 2010, KUST was to become a key university with a strong science and engineering background. The university is to be developed into an important provincial training base for advanced technical personnel, a research base for applied fundamental research and hi-tech research, an industrialization base for hi-tech, and a research and consulting center for the national social and economic development.
Yunnan University Science Park (YNUSP) was established as an experimental site of University Science Park in 1999 and was awarded the status of national university science park in May 2001. The park is supported by Yunnan University, Kunming University of Science & Technology and Yunnan Normal University.
As the largest university in Yunnan Province and one of the well-known universities in China, the earliest departments of KUST started admitting undergraduate students for Bachelor's degrees in March 1925. KUST became an independent public higher education institution in September 1954. In October 1999, based on a decision made by Yunnan Provincial Government and approved by the Education Ministry of China, the former KUST and Yunnan Polytechnic University (founded in 1974) amalgamated into a new and much larger university under the name of Kunming University of Science and Technology (KUST).
