Sichuan University: A 120-year journey to education and research excellence
To mark the 120th anniversary and celebrate the start of the next stage of a brilliant journey, now is a time to reflect on the great strides made by Sichuan University (SCU). It is one of China’s longest established modern universities with a history that can be traced back to the founding of Sichuan Sino-Western School in 1896, set up under the rule of Qing Dynasty Emperor, Guangxu. The current SCU was born of two mergers, first in 1994, with the former Chengdu University of Science and Technology, and then in 2000 with the former West China University of Medical Sciences.
