Zhengzhou University, as one of the “211 Project” key universities in China, is included in the national scheme of ‘Development of World-Class Universities and World-Class Disciplines’ and co-developed by the Ministry of Education and Henan Provincial Government. We admit students nationwide (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) with over 54,000 full-time undergraduates, 19,000 postgraduates and over 2000 international students from more than 91 countries and regions currently studying with us.

There are 12 fields of study available at our university including Science, Engineering, Medicine, Literature, History, Philosophy, Law, Economics, Management Science, Pedagogy, Agriculture and Arts. Clinical Medicine, Material Science & Engineering and Chemistry are included as disciplines in the national scheme of ‘Development of World-Class Universities and World-Class Disciplines’. Chemistry, Material Science, Clinical Medicine, Engineering, Pharmacology & Toxicology are ranked within the top 1% according to ESI.

We have ten national research platforms such as the National Engineering Research Center and the National Engineering Lab. With a total of over 5700 faculty members, there are 11 Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, two Fellows of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, three Academicians of overseas academies, eight Professors granted ‘National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars’, two winners of the ‘Chang Jiang Scholars Program’ and seven professors included in the national ‘Thousand Talents Plan’.

Medical education at Zhengzhou University started as early as 1928 at the Fifth National Sun Yat-sen University. In 1952, Henan Medical University was established as an independent Medical University that represents the beginning of medical education in Henan Province. The former Zhengzhou University was established in 1956 as the first comprehensive university after the founding of the People’s Republic of China and was included as a national ‘211 Project’ Key University. Zhengzhou University of Technology was founded in 1963 and this key university used to be under direct administration by the Ministry of Chemical Industry. In July 2000, the former Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou University of Technology and Henan Medical University merged to become the current Zhengzhou University.

At a new historic starting point, Zhengzhou University has adopted the strategy of enhancing development through attracting high performers. At present, we have fostered a large team of talent led by Academicians and outstanding experts, with winners of the ‘National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars’, ‘Chang Jiang Scholars Program’ and the ‘Recruitment Program of Global Experts’ as academic leaders, and young scientists with a doctoral degree as a backbone force. Zhengzhou University aims to be in the top tier in the world, which is in accordance with the social and economic development of the Central Plains, with the expectation of the hundreds of millions of Henan natives to enjoy quality higher education, with the trust of making this university better and stronger, and with the belief in the rising of Central China and the great revival of the Chinese nation. Located in the Central Plains, we – by upholding the principle of truth-seeking – will assume the responsibility and strive to be recognized as a world-class, comprehensive, research-oriented university.

We sincerely invite outstanding scholars from home and abroad to join us to make Zhengzhou University a world leader.
