Introduction

China University of Geosciences (CUG) is a national leading university directly under the administration of the Ministry of Education of P. R. China, and is among the first Universities joining the national “211 Project” which is designed to develop one hundred first-rate universities in the 21st century and in 2006 was also selected as one of the group of pilot universities for the "Platform for National Advanced Disciplines Innovation" program. It was one of the first universities to be entitled to establish state-approved graduate schools. It is renowned for the study of geosciences with 2 national key disciplines: geology，geological resources and geological engineering and at the same time it maintains a balanced program of science, engineering, humanities, management, economics, law, education and philosophy.

CUG(Wuhan) is adjacent to the national high-tech development zone and China Optical Valley, with the scenic East Lake by its side. The university is a member of the National Civilized Units, and one of the best Civilized Units of Hubei Province. In CUG, there is a 4A level national scenic area: Yifu Science and Technology Museum, which is the first and only 4A level national spot among all the Chinese universities in China. The school covers an area of 1,102,003 square meters and a building area of 757,217 square meters. The campus is divided into the east campus, the west campus and the north campus.

CUG takes Premier Wen Jiabao’s inscription "hard work and plain living, being pragmatic" as its motto(Premier Wen Jiabao is one of the outstanding alumni of CUG ). On the basis of summing up the experience in education and looking to the future development trends, the school sets up its period and long-term goals: constructing high-level university with first-class Earth Sciences and coordinated development of multi-disciplines as the period goal; and constructing a university with world first-class Earth Sciences as its long-term goal. The university insists on stressing its characteristics, perfecting the discipline system, continuously improving the quality of personnel training, and enhancing the scientific and technological ability for innovation, which provides the intellectual supports for the building of a well-off society in an all-round way, and for the building of a resource-conserving and environmentally-friendly society.

CUG has been vigorously building its Earth Sciences-oriented discipline system, and actively developing the applied science, the frontier science and new interdisciplinary subjects as information technology, nanometer, material science, biology, energy, environmental protection that are closely related to national economic construction and social development. At present, the University has 8 national key disciplines, 13 provincial or ministerial key disciplines, among which two first-class disciplines, namely, geological resources and geological engineering, and geology, rank the first in China respectively. And now there are 17 schools which offer 60 undergraduate programs.
