From 65438 to 0952, after the adjustment of colleges and departments in universities across the country, Tsinghua University became a multidisciplinary industrial university, focusing on the national training of engineering and technical personnel, and was known as the "cradle of engineers". Since 1978, Tsinghua University has entered a new period of vigorous development, gradually restoring science, economics, management and literature, and establishing graduate schools and continuing education colleges. 1999, the former Central Academy of Arts and Crafts merged into Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts. With the strong support of the state and the Ministry of Education, through the construction of the "2 1 1 Project" and the implementation of the "985 Plan", Tsinghua University has leapt to a new level in discipline construction, personnel training, teaching staff construction, scientific research and development, and overall school-running conditions. At present, Tsinghua University has become a comprehensive university with science, engineering, literature, law, medicine, economics, management, art and other disciplines.
