Zhejiang University (ZJU) is a public university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. It is affiliated with the Ministry of Education. The university is part of Double First-Class Construction, Project 985, and Project 211.

The university was established as National Third Chungshan University[note 1] in 1927, in memory of Sun Yat-sen, and soon renamed as National Chekiang University (NCKU)[note 2] in 1928.[7] During the presidency of Chu Kochen from 1936 to 1949, the university retreated to Guizhou in West China during the Sino-Japanese War,[8] before it moved back to Hangzhou in 1946.

After the Communist Revolution, the university was re-organized as an engineering-specialized university in 1952. In 1998, Zhejiang Medical University, Hangzhou University and Zhejiang Agricultural University, which were derived from former departments of Chekiang (Zhejiang) University, merged and formed the present-day ZJU as a comprehensive university.[9][10][6]

The university holds 7 faculties, 37 colleges, schools, and departments, offering more than 140 undergraduate and 300 graduate programs.[11] The university also has seven affiliated hospitals, 1 museum, 2 international joint institutes, and boasts over 200 student organizations.[12] 52 members of ZJU faculty are the members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering.[13] It is part of C9 League.
