Wuhan Unviersity (WHU）
Wuhan University is located in Hubei, China and was founded in 1893 by Zhang Zhidong who was the governor of the Hunan and Hubei Provinces during the end of the Qing Dynasty. The University was formerly known as the Ziqiang Institute. When the University was first founded, it originally included courses in Mathematics, Nature, Business, and Chinese. Later on, the Institute of Minerals and the Institute of Chemical with Nature Science and Engineering, the program offerings grew considerably. Additionally, the Chinese course offerings were extended to English, French, Russian, German, and Japanese. When the Zigiang Institute moved to Dongchang kou, Wuchang, the name was changed to Foreign Languages Institute and expanded its course offerings to History, Geography, Law, Mathematics, and Communication. Due to uprisings in 1911 the school closed until it was extended in 1922-1924 to teach Education Philosophy, Chinese, English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemical, History and Sociology, Biology, and Geography. During this time, it was renamed Wuchang State University. In 1926, Wuchang State University merged with several schools to include: Wuchang State Business University, Hubei University of Medicine, Hubei University of Law, Hubei Arts & Humanity University, and Wuchang Private Chinese University. As a result, in 1928, the University was formally renamed Wuhan State University. Due to Wuhan University’s unique history and combination of academic disciplines, it is a wonderful place to pursue degrees in China.

Concluding Remark on the Subject
There are very few universities that have the immense presence and diverse subject matter that Wuhan University does. This University is comparative to a school such as Cornell University that is more rural, yet still possesses prestige and a wide-range of subjects to choose from. There is a sizeable community of foreign students studying at Wuhan University, which makes the University an ideal choice for a well-rounded University experience that still yields the possibility for impressive networking connections, guest lecturers and Chinese language study while studying in China.
