Hubei College of Geology Wuhan College of Geology

The China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) is a public university in Wuhan, Hubei, China. It is affiliated with the Ministry of Education, and co-funded by the Ministry of Education and the Hubei Provincial People's Government. The university is part of the Double First-Class Construction and Project 211.

The China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) and the China University of Geosciences (Beijing) are considered separate entities, although these two universities shared common history until 2005. CUG Wuhan and CUG Beijing have different constitutions, presidents, and governing boards, as well as separate legal entity registration, admission procedures, financial systems, Internet domains, and logos.

Campuses

The Main Campus of CUG is referred to as Nanwangshan Mountain Campus, because the campus was located at the foot of Nanwangshan mountain and it also has a tunnel which connect west campus and north campus running through the mountain. It has a large annual enrollment and has a wide range of courses other than geosciences. Its Yifu Museum (donated by Sir Run Run Shaw) is known for housing China's top ranked displays of dinosaur fossils, mineral and rock specimens.

The New Campus of CUG was built in the Future technology city of Wuhan. It opened in September 2019.

History

The history of China University of Geosciences dates back to Beijing Institute of Geology (BIG; ) which was a merger of the geology departments of Tsinghua University, Peking University, Tianjin University and Tangshan Railway College in 1952. It was among China's first 16 key universities back in the 1950s. The university suspended operations from 1966 to 1970 due to the Cultural Revolution.

In 2005, the two campuses in Wuhan and Beijing were separated into two individual entities and renamed '''China University of Geosciences (CUG)''' and '''[[China University of Geosciences (Beijing)]] (CUGB)''', respectively. CUG is included in the Chinese state [[Double First Class University Plan]].<ref name="en"/>
