history
The university was founded in 1952 as the Institute for Chemical Technology of East China. It was the first university in the People's Republic that was specifically geared towards one discipline. The chemistry faculties of several other universities were merged and consolidated in it. In 1954, the university moved to its present campus on Meilong Street. In 1960 it was one of the first major universities in the country named by the Central Committee of the Communist Party. In 1965 she opened a branch in Sichuan Province , which later became an independent institute. During the Cultural Revolution, the University of Shanghai was subordinate to the city of Shanghai, but from 1979 it was again directly subordinate to the central government offices in Beijing. In 1993 it took on its current name. As part of the 211 project , the university has enjoyed special funding from the Ministry of Education since 1996 and has since expanded into a comprehensive university.
