Wuhan University of Science and Technology (WUST) is a public, comprehensive, research university located in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, China. It is a key university co-administered by the Chinese Ministry of Education and Hubei province.
The history of WUST dates back to the Hubei Technical Institute (simplified Chinese: 湖北工艺学堂; traditional Chinese: 湖北工藝學堂; pinyin: Húběi Gōngyì Xuétáng), which was founded in 1898 by Zhang Zhidong in the late Qing Dynasty.
In 1958, it was renamed as Wuhan Institute of Metallurgy (simplified Chinese: 武汉钢铁学院; traditional Chinese: 武漢鋼鐵學院; pinyin: Wǔhàn Gāngtiě Xuéyuàn) and began to offer four-year degree programs. At that time, it affiliated with the Ministry of Metallurgy. The affiliation was revoked in 1998, and the university is now governed by the Hubei Province and the Ministry of Education.
In 1995, two colleges were merged into Wuhan Institute of Metallurgy: Wuhan Advanced Construction School (simplified Chinese: 武汉建筑高等专科学校; traditional Chinese: 武漢建築高等專科學校; pinyin: Wǔhàn jiànzhù gāoděng zhuānkē xuéxiào) and Wuhan Medical School of Metallurgy (simplified Chinese: 武汉冶金医学高等专科学校; traditional Chinese: 武漢冶金醫學高等專科學校; pinyin: Wǔhàn yějīn yīxué gāoděng zhuānkē xuéxiào). Wuhan Institute of Metallurgy changed its name to Wuhan Metallurgy University of Science and Technology.(simplified Chinese: 武汉冶金科技大学; traditional Chinese: 武漢冶金科技大學; pinyin: Wǔhàn yějīn kējì Dàxué).
