The 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 established and managed by Hubei province and by the Chinese Ministry of Education. The history of WUST dates back to the Hubei Technical Institute (湖北工艺学堂; 湖北工藝學堂; Húběi Gōngyì Xuétáng), which was founded in 1898 by Zhang Zhidong in the late Qing Dynasty. In 1958, it was renamed as Wuhan Iron and Steel University (武汉钢铁学院; 武漢鋼鐵學院; 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 The affiliation was revoked in 1998, and the university is now governed by the Hubei provincial education department and the Ministry of Education. More information...
