University Profile
Taiyuan University of Technology can trace its history back to one of the earliest universities in China---Shanxi Grand Academy. It is now a general university of engineering combined with sciences and many other disciplines. It is the only university that is included in “211 Project”---a national higher education promotion program launched by Ministry of Education.
TUT started to recruit overseas students from the early 1990's. Many students from Australia, the United States, Canada, Korea, Japan and Mongolia have studied here. Apart from Chinese culture and language, the overseas students can also study for bachelor's degree and master's degree of many different disciplines.
The establishment of College of International Education Exchange has further promoted the development in this field. Now the entire infrastructure has been improved and the teaching quality upgraded; teaching plans have been reformed and teaching methods modernized. In one word, the overseas student education is now developing well under way.

Taiyuan , the capital of Shanxi Province , called Jinyang in ancient times or Bing for short, is an ancient city with a history of 2500 years. It was initially established in 497 B.C. in the Spring and Autumn Period (770—475 B.C.), called as Jinyang city. In the early Warring States Period (475—221 B.C.), it was the capital of Zhao State . During the Qin Period(221—206 B.C.), it was one of 36 prefectures in the whole country. During the Western Han(206 B.C.— 24 A .D.), it was called Binzhou and was one of 13 states in the whole country, which was origin of Taiyuan named as Binzhou. Before the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420- 589), such as Former Zhao, Later Yan, Former Yan, Former Qin and Northern Qi States, all chose Taiyuan as capital. During Sui Dynasty (581 -618), Jinyang was the third largest city after Changan and Luoyang in the whole country. Jinyang was the birthplace of Tang Dynasty (618 -907) and was designated as Bei capital. Jinyang of Bei capital, Changan of Jing capital and Luoyang of Dong capital all were called "three capitals". During the Five Dynasties (907 -960), Taiyuan was the capital of Later Tang (923 -936), Later Jin (936-947), Later Han (947- 950) and Northern Han (951 -979). In the history of more than 2000 years, Taiyuan has always been a military fortress town in North China , enjoying the reputation of "controlling mountains and rivers, crouching on heaven's shoulder and back" . A famous poet Guo Moruo eulogized Taiyuan that "Look Taiyuan from a distance, how grand and magnificent it is" . In Qing Dynasty (1636- 1911 ), Taiyuan had developed to a key city in commercial and handicraft industries in north China . In the period of the Republic of China (1912- 1949), Taiyuan was the municipality under the direct jurisdiction of Shanxi Province .
Taiyuan is located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River in North China and is surrounded by hills in its west, north and east. It covers an area of 6998 square kilometers. The Fenhe River , a key tributary of the Yellow River, runs through the territory of Taiyuan City with a long distance of 100 kilometers. Taiyuan lies in the valley basin of both mountains of the Taihang Mountain Ranges in east and the Luliang Mountain in west. It has continental climate in north temperate zone, no bitterly cold days in winter and no broiling hot days in summer, with a quite temperature difference between day and night and a long frost-free period and plenty of sunshine hours in a year.
