Established in 1956 as the Chengdu Institute of Radio Engineering (CIRE), this institution marked the inception of electronic information education in post-revolutionary China. Recognized as a National Key Institute in 1960, it evolved into the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 1988. Achieving prominence, it became part of the State's Education Revival Project in 1997 and attained the status of a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education in 2000. Further accolades followed, with inclusion in the prestigious 'Project 211' in 1997 and 'Project 985' in 2001, solidifying its position among China's top universities. Expanding its footprint, the Qingshuihe Campus was inaugurated in 2007, covering an expansive 540 acres. Recognizing its excellence, the University earned the distinction of being one of the "Double First-class" universities in 2017, ranking among the top 36 institutions in the nation.

The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), formerly known as the Chengdu Institute of Radio Engineering, stands as a pivotal institution in China's electronic industry. Nestled in Chengdu, a city steeped in a millennia of cultural history in the "land of abundance," UESTC traces its origins to 1956 when, under the guidance of Premier Zhou Enlai, it was established by merging electronic divisions of three universities: Jiaotong Universities, Nanjing Institute of Technology, and South China Institute of Technology. Achieving national key university status in 1960, UESTC gained further recognition in 1997 as one of the inaugural institutions in "Project 211," aimed at fostering 100 top-tier universities and key research fields. The university's pursuit of excellence continued with its inclusion in the nation's Project 985 in 2001, receiving special support for attaining world-class and research-oriented status. In 2017, UESTC earned the distinction of being selected as one of the "Double First-class" universities, solidifying its position among the top 36 institutions in the country.

Over the span of sixty years, the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) has undergone a transformative journey, evolving from a singular focus on electronic information engineering to becoming a comprehensive, multidisciplinary institution. Positioned as a key university, UESTC centers its academic core around electronic science and technology, with engineering as a major field. Notably, the university has embraced a holistic approach, skillfully integrating science, engineering, management, and liberal arts into its academic fabric. This strategic evolution reflects a forward-looking vision, positioning UESTC as a high-level, research-oriented university well-equipped to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.

In the 21st century, electronic information science and technology have become the driving force behind rapid high-tech advancements. Faced with new opportunities and challenges, the University's dedicated staff adheres to the ethos of "seeking facts and truth, being noble and ambitious." Committed to excellence, they embark on a journey towards a more illustrious future.
