Why us

Lanzhou University of Technology is located in Lanzhou, the provincial capital of Gansu Province, China. The city lies on the upper reaches of the Yellow River (Huang He) in an elongated valley and is approximately 30 kilometers in length. Once a significant fortress on China’s historic Silk Road, the city has developed into a major transportation and industrial center.
 
Lanzhou University of Technology was established in 1919 as an Technical School. In 1958 the school was renamed Lanzhou Polytechnic Institute; and in that same year, after a merger with Gansu Communication College, the Institute was renamed Gansu University of Technology. In 1965, the University expanded it specialty curriculum when three specialties from Northeast Heavy-Machine Building Institute and one specialty from Beijing Machine-Building Institute became a part of the University. The above specialties were a part of First Machine-Building Industry Ministry of China prior to transfer. Subsequent to the reorganization of the State Council of China in 1998, the University’s administration is under the control of both the central and local government, with the local government having the major responsibility for operation. The University was renamed Lanzhou University of Technology in May of 2003, following approval by the Education Ministry of China.
