Jiangnan University is located in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, a famous city south of Taihu Lake. It is a key university under the national "2 1 1 project" directly under the Ministry of Education.
Jiangnan University, which enjoys the reputation of "Pearl of Light Industry Higher Education", has a long history and profound cultural background. Central University (now Nanjing University) developed on the basis of Sanjiang Normal School founded by 1902 is the predecessor of Jiangnan University. 1952, when the departments of colleges and universities in China were adjusted, the departments of food industry of Nanjing University, agricultural chemistry of Zhejiang University and food industry of Jiangnan University merged with relevant departments of Fudan University and Wuhan University to form the department of food industry of Nanjing Institute of Technology (now Southeast University). 1958, the whole department moved eastward to Wuxi and established Wuxi Institute of Light Industry. 1995 was renamed Wuxi Institute of Light Industry, and 1998 was transferred from China Light Industry Federation to the Ministry of Education. 200 1 1 With the approval of the Ministry of Education, Wuxi University of Light Industry, Jiangnan College and Wuxi Institute of Education merged to form Jiangnan University.
The school's disciplines cover nine categories, including economics, law, education, literature, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine and management. It consists of bioengineering college, food college, textile and garment college, chemical and material engineering college, design college, mechanical engineering college, communication and control engineering college, information engineering college, business college, law and politics college, liberal arts college, normal college, science college, foreign language college and civil engineering college. Adult education enrolls more than 5000 students, and online education enrolls 1 000 students. There are also Lymton College, which is approved by the Ministry of Education to run schools in cooperation with foreign countries, and Taihu College of Jiangnan University, which is run in cooperation with social forces.
The school has two postdoctoral mobile stations and 10 doctoral programs, including light industry technology and engineering, food science and engineering, covering 16 secondary doctoral programs and 39 master programs, covering light industry, textiles, food and other fields.
