Nanjing University of Industrial Technology is a century-old institution with a long history and rich heritage. Its predecessor was the China Vocational School, founded in 1918, which was the first school in China to be named after "vocational education". In 1952, the school came under the administration of the Ministry of Light Industry, and in 1954, it was renamed the Shanghai Mechanical School; in 1960, it relocated to Nanjing and was renamed the Nanjing Electromechanical School of the Ministry of Light Industry. In 1998, the institution came under the administration of Jiangsu Province; in 1999, it was upgraded to a higher vocational college and renamed Nanjing Industrial Vocational and Technical College. In 2019, the institution was upgraded to a vocational undergraduate institution, and in June 2020, it was renamed Nanjing University of Industrial Technology upon approval by the Ministry of Education. The university currently has four campuses—Xianlin, Zhongshan, Tiantang, and Longpao (planned)—covering a total area of 1,360 mu, with a total floor area of 460,000 square meters. It possesses teaching equipment valued at approximately 340 million yuan and a library collection of 1.5 million volumes. The university comprises 15 academic departments and offers 43 undergraduate programs. It has a full-time student body of 21,136, of whom 20,073 are undergraduates. There are 260 international students and 1,238 faculty and staff members. The university is the nation's first public pilot institution for undergraduate-level vocational education, one of the first institutions designated for the construction of national model higher vocational colleges, and has been selected as part of the State Council's second batch of "Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation" demonstration bases.
