Southeast University (SEU) is apublic university inNanjing,Jiangsu, China. It is affiliated with theMinistry of Education of China. The university is part ofProject 211,Project 985, and theDouble First-Class Construction.
Its precursor, Sanjiang Teachers College, was established in 1902 as a modern university on the former site of the Ming-eraGuozijian. In 1921, the school changed its name to National Southeast University and became the secondnational university in China, and in 1928 was renamedNational Central University, the nation's flagship university.[4] After theNationalist government lostNanjing to theChinese Communist Party during theChinese Civil War, the university was renamed National Nanking University in August 1949. It was renamed Southeast University in May 1988.
The grounds of Sanjiang Normal College were established on the site of theMing dynasty's firstGuozijian, usually translated as the Imperial Academy. The institution had moved with thenational capitals of thevarious dynasties throughoutChinese history but had originated under theWu Emperor of theJin dynasty, inspired by the royal schools of theThree Kingdoms such as the one established in Nanjing underSun Xiu ofWu in 258.[5][6]
At the end of the 19th century, under the rule of theQing dynasty, the China faced domestic trouble and foreign encroachment culminating in theBoxer Uprising of 1899 and the subsequent invasion by theEight-Nation Alliance of foreign powers. In the aftermath in 1901, the Qing government began a program of reform, and in 1902 issued its Imperial Rules for Colleges[clarification needed] and adopted a new modern education system. On 30 May of the same year, theViceroy of LiangjiangLiu Kunyi submitted a document of preparing colleges to the Qing government, proposing to open normal college inJiangning (Nanjing). In February 1903, the successor Viceroy of LiangjiangZhang Zhidong submitted a proposal to openSanjiang Normal College to government, and authorizeMiao Quansun as a representative to Japan for investigation, who later was nominated as the inspector of Sanjiang Normal College and responsible for the project preparation.[7] In September 1903, Sanjiang Normal College officially opened.[8]
Due to the ambiguous meaning of the college name which led to several disputes, the Sanjiang Normal College was named as Liangjiang Normal College in 1905. The year after,Li Ruiqing was nominated as the principal, who closed the junior normal subjects, and added the public subjects, professional subjects, and also created the first hand-painting subject in China. Until 1907, there had already been Geography-History department, Chinese-Foreign Language Department, Mathematic-Physics- Chemistry Department, and Agriculture Department. At the end of 1911, due to the outbreak ofXinhai Revolution, Liangjiang Normal College was almost closed.[9]
On 15 July 1914, GovernorHan Guojun appointedJiang Qian as principal, who was responsible for the starting up of Nanjing Higher Normal School in the same site of Liangjiang Normal College. Jiang employed the US-educated scholarGuo Bingwen as the dean of teaching, Chen Rong as the advisor, and sent both to Europe to investigate the education system and recruit teachers. On 10 September 1915, Nanjing Higher Normal School was officially started. In December 1919, Nanjing Higher Normal School formally recruited 8 female students and 50 more female visiting students, being the first school in China allowing both females and males to study together. The Polytechnic Faculty was established by the school in 1916.
In September 1918, Guo Bingwen was the president in the south division. On 7 April 1920, Guo proposed the foundation of the "Southeast University Preparatory Committee". In September, Guo proposed to the State Council and the Ministry of Education to apply for the establishment of Southeast University, and in December it was approved. On 6 June 1921, the Board of Southeast University was established, Guo as president, and the university was officially opening in September. In December, the school council decided that Nanjing Higher Normal School would be incorporated into Southeast University. Southeast University, based on the foundation of Nanjing Normal Higher School, until 1923, had possessed arts and sciences, Education, engineering, agriculture, business totaling more than 20 lines in 5 subjects. Based on the Polytechnic Faculty of Nanjing Higher Normal School, the Engineering School of National Southeast University was established in 1921.

In 1924, the Engineering School of National Southeast University merged with the water conservancy school Hohai Engineering School to formNational Hohai Technology University, withMao Yisheng as president.
In 1927, National Hohai Technology University along with several other schools merged with National Southeast University to form National Central University.
In April 1949, thePeople's Liberation Army occupied Nanjing and the Nanjing Military Committee took overNational Central University. On 8 August 1949,National Central University was renamed as National Nanjing University, and then Nanjing University in October 1950.
In 1952, thePeople's Republic of China began a national adjustment of its colleges. In Nanjing, the adjustment was mainly on Nanjing University andUniversity of Nanking. Nanjing Institute of Technology was formed in the original site of National Central University from the Engineering School (at the time, the biggest school) of Nanjing University and the engineering departments of University of Nanking, including Chemistry Department and Electrical Machine Department. Later there were also some relevant subjects fromJiaotong University,Zhejiang University,Shandong University,Xiamen University,Fudan University, andPrivate Jiangnan University merged intoNanjing Institute of Technology.
In June 1988, Nanjing Institute of Technology was renamed as 'Southeast University', starting to convert from a technology institute to a technology-featured comprehensive university. Since 2000, the nameNanjing Institute of Technology is used by a different institution.[10]
In 2000, Nanjing Railway Medical College, Nanjing Higher Institute of Transportation and Nanjing Geological School were merged into Southeast University.[11]

There are 3 main campuses of Southeast University namely Sipailou Campus, Jiulonghu campus and Dingjiaqiao campus. Sipailou (Xuanwu District) and Dingjiaqiao campus (Gulou district) are in Nanjing city and Jiulonghu campus in suburbs of Nanjing (Jiangning District).
The Sipailou Campus of Southeast University is the flagship campus that is inherited fromNational Central University. It is located at 2 Sipailou,Nanjing, China. In 1988, Pukou Campus which located inPukou Campus across theYangtze River was opened as another site mainly for the education of first and second year students (freshman andsophomores). However, in 2008Pukou Campus was separated from Southeast University and was then acquired byCheng Xian Institute.
In 2001, SEU acquired three other colleges in Nanjing. They are:Nanjing Railway Medical College,Nanjing College of Advanced Transportation, as well as Nanjing Advanced School of Geology.Nanjing Railway Medical College became theSchool of Medicine at Southeast University after it merged with SEU. The medical school is located in Dingjiaqiao.
In 2005, when Jiulonghu Campus, located inJiangning District, was founded, the authority of Pukou Campus was transferred to the Chengxian College of Southeast University. Most of the undergraduate students and master students are studying at Jiulonghu Campus currently. After Jiulonghu Campus was opened, the Sipailou Campus basically includes some most important research institutes and administrations of the university.Jiulonghu Campus is situated in the south of the Jiangning Technology Development District, to the east of Suyuan Avenue, west of Shuanglong Street, and south of Jiyin Street. It is around 20 kilometers away from the Sipailou Campus, with an area of 3749mu. The architecture design of Jiulonghu Campus follows the basis of Southeast University's culture, characterized in the combination of public teaching and research which compromises the merit of Chinese and Western styles, forming a green and active university community. The total building area in Jiulonghu Campus is 574 thousand square meters with the investment of 1.6 billion yuan.
