Historical Evolution Central South University is a 985, 2 1 1 institution directly under the Ministry of Education. It was formed by the merger of Hunan Medical University, Changsha Railway Institute and Central South University of Technology in 2000.
Central South University is located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, and the scenery is very good. The former Central South University of Technology was formerly known as Central South Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (1952), and its mining department is well-known at home and abroad, and is known as "Mining and Metallurgy Huangpu" in China. 1960 entered the ranks of national key universities, and it was the only national key university in Hunan Province at that time.
Hunan Medical University, formerly known as Xiangya Medical University, was founded in 19 14. It is one of the earliest western medicine institutions of higher learning in China, enjoying the reputation of "Xiangya in the south and Concord in the north". 1996 passed the pre-examination of "Project 2 1 1", which was divided into provinces.
Changsha Railway Institute, formerly known as Central South Institute of Civil Engineering and Architecture, was founded in 1953 during the adjustment of the national departments. At that time, the school's folk strength was very strong, ranking the top three in the country.
The school has a complete range of disciplines, including non-ferrous metals, medicine, rail transit and other disciplines, covering philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, science, engineering, medicine, management art, radiation military science and so on 10. There are 6 national key disciplines (mechanical engineering, civil engineering, materials science and engineering, transportation engineering, mining engineering, management college and engineering). Two disciplines (excluding coverage) 12 national key disciplines (probability theory and mathematical statistics, control theory and control engineering, psychosis and mental hygiene, internal medicine (endocrine and metabolic diseases), neurology, surgery (chest and heart), nonferrous metallurgy, earth exploration and information technology, pathology and pathophysiology, otorhinolaryngology, genetics, pharmacology), and national key disciplines. 30 secondary colleges with undergraduate majors106; There are 35 first-class disciplines authorized by doctor's degree, 46 first-class disciplines authorized by master's degree, 6 categories authorized by doctor's degree, 30 categories authorized by master's degree, and 30 post-doctoral research stations.
The fourth round of discipline evaluation Central South University gives people the impression that mining, metallurgy, medicine, civil engineering and other disciplines are very strong, but in fact Central South University has made rapid progress in other disciplines. In the fourth round of discipline evaluation, Central South University has 40 first-level disciplines participating in the evaluation. There are 65438 +02 A disciplines, among which 3 A+ disciplines are metallurgical engineering, mining engineering and nursing, and 9 A- disciplines are Marxist theory, mechanical engineering, material science and engineering, control science and engineering, computer science and technology, civil engineering, safety science and engineering, clinical medicine and management science and engineering. The number of A disciplines ranks 19 in China (including 8 engineering A disciplines 1 1), and the excellent rate of A disciplines is 26%, ranking 2 1 in participating universities in China.
In addition to maintaining the traditional advantages, from the fourth round of discipline evaluation, the number of engineering disciplines A ranked 1 1, and computer, control, surveying and mapping, machinery and so on continued to maintain a good development momentum, while liberal arts majors such as law and management rose better. Since the merger of Hunan Medical University, Central South University has ranked first among single students in Hunan, and has great fame and strength in the south. Central South University ranks between 17 and 20, but the admission score is above 40, so from this perspective, Central South University can rank in the top three even if it is not the highest.
