Location

It is located at No.129 Luoyu Road, Hongshan District, Wuhan, Hubei Province.

History

The school was founded in 1956 and has been regarded as the "Capital of Surveying and Mapping Education". When first founded, the school was named as Wuhan Surveying and Cartographying College. In 1958, the State Surveying and Mapping Bureau of China took charge of the college. Because it focused equally on surveying and mapping, the school was renamed as Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping. In 1993, the department of Geodesy and Engineering Survey was merged into the university and renamed it as School of Geoscience and Surveying Engineering of the university. In February 2000, the Ministry of Education of P.R.China took charge of Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping and merged the new Wuhan University.
