Jiangnan University (simplified Chinese: 江南大学; traditional Chinese: 江南大學; pinyin: Jiāngnán Dàxué), JU, literally "Southern Yangtze University") is a university located in Wuxi, Jiangsu, China. It is a key national university of the “Project 211” and is directly administrated by the Chinese Ministry of Education.^[1]

Reputed as the “Pearl of China’s Light Industry Higher Education”, Jiangnan University ( former Wuxi Institute of Light Industry 无锡轻工业学院) is the cradle, and one of the major supporting institutions, of China's light industry, food science and fermentation technology.

Its roots may stretch back to 1902 when its predecessor, San Jiang Normal School ( 三江师范学堂 ), began its first term. More than a hundred years of development and fifty years of independent education have brought Jiangnan University recognition in scientific research, teaching quality and social service locally and domestically. It is now recognized and highly respected as a comprehensive university.

The distinguished disciplines are food science and technology, fermentation, chemical technology for light industry, mechanical and control engineering for light industry, textile engineering and industrial design.^[2]

History

The root of Jiangnan University stretches back to San Jiang Normal School which was founded in Nanjing in 1902 which later renamed National Central University and Nanjing University. The private Jiangnan University, another source of JU, was founded in Wuxi in 1948 by Rong Desheng (the father of Rong Yiren), the largest national capitalist in the Republic of China era. Later during restructuring of higher education happened after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, the engineering related departments of Nanjing University merged related departments of private Jiangnan University and several other universities and formed Nanjing Institute of Technology (later renamed Southeast University) in 1952, and in 1958, the related department of Nanjing Institute of Technology moved to Wuxi and established Wuxi College of Light Industry which was named university in 1995. In 2001, Jiangnan University was formed by the combination of Wuxi University of Light Industry（无锡轻工大学）, Jiangnan College （江南学院） and Wuxi Education College （无锡教育学院）.

Campus

The newly completed university campus covers 208 hectares with floor space of 1.05 million square meters. It is located by Lake Tai, a national scenic resort in the south of Wuxi. It was designed and built to demonstrate the concept of an “Eco-campus”.
