Together with "2 1 1 project" and "985 project", it is listed as a "double first-class" key construction university.

Nanjing University can be traced back to Nanjing Imperial College in 258 AD.

The school started from Sanjiang Normal School founded by 1902, and then went through important development periods such as Liangjiang Normal University, Nanjing Normal University, National Southeast University and National Central University.

The former National Central University School of Engineering was merged into Fudan University, Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University and Jinling University, and Nanjing Institute of Technology was established in the original site of the National Central University. In May 1988, the school was renamed Southeast University.
