Why NUAA?

NUAA took the 1st place in Chinese University of satisfaction list. With rapid progress in teaching and researching, NUAA has successfully entered the 211 project and accomplished the 9th five-year-project, setting up solid foundations for further development in research, teaching and technology innovation an application. Basic construction in NUAA has made great strides in supporting the above. Since 1996 the School has developed a total of 280,000 square meters, an equivalent to that completed between 1952 and 1985, to suit the increasing demand for development. To meet the new challenge in the 21st century, NUAA has raised funds to purchase 67 hectares for a new campus in Jiangning Economic & Technological Development Zone. The new campus, with 9500 students living on it now, shall accommodate 14,000 students upon completion. Adorned by beautiful trees and flowers.

NUAA has become a key comprehensive university after 5 decades' development.

As the capital of Jiangsu province, Nanjing is an important cultural and education center. The city boasts many of the province’s top universities and colleges. The city’s notable student population consists of both native Chinese and foreigners. The name Nanjing, which means "South Capital", is reflective of the importance of Nanjing as the capital of six dynasties in China’s fabled history (Wu, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen). The Chinese often refer to Nanjing as "Jinling" and/or "Stone City", while some foreigners know it as "Nanking". Officially named Nanjing during the Ming dynasty, it was called "Ning" for short.
