The research of computer science in Nanjing University began in 1958, and the specialties of computing technology, computational mathematics and mathematical logic were set up to train professionals in computer-related fields. 1978 established the department of computer science on the basis of the above three majors, and 1993 changed its name to the department of computer science and technology.

The Department of Computer Science and Technology of Nanjing University has made remarkable achievements before and at the beginning of its establishment: in the 1960s, it successfully debugged the first computer of a university affiliated to the Ministry of Higher Education at that time, and realized the first high-level language compiler in China; In 1970s, he presided over the development of domestic DJS-2 10 medium-sized computer and XT- 1 operating system.

In 1980s, ZCZ, the first distributed system in China, was developed, and the first doctor of computer software in Chinese mainland was trained. Since the establishment of the Department, the computer discipline construction of Nanjing University has entered a period of rapid development, and it has been in the advanced ranks in China in terms of team building, personnel training and scientific research.

The department has established a complete talent training system from undergraduate students, master students, doctoral students to postdoctoral researchers, and also trained master of engineering in computer technology, software engineering and other fields. At present, there are more than 2,000 students in various reading departments, and a college computer basic teaching department has been set up to undertake the teaching task of the public course of computer basic in the whole school.
