Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Public university in Minhang District, Shanghai, China.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University is a public university in Minhang District, Shanghai, China, with campuses that house engineering, technology, medicine, and agricultural research faculties. The grounds include modern research buildings, extensive library collections, student dormitories, and teaching facilities spread across different locations in the city.
Sheng Xuanhuai founded the institution in 1896 as Nanyang Public School, initially teaching business subjects. Multiple reorganizations throughout the 20th century transformed it into a university with a broad range of disciplines, now ranking among China's leading research institutions.
The university maintains a student population of 39,156 individuals, including 4,364 international students who participate in Mandarin and English language programs.
Visitors should note that access to certain areas may be restricted to students and staff, while public lectures and events occasionally open to outside guests. Those wishing to tour libraries or laboratories should inquire in advance about access conditions.
The institution operates twelve affiliated hospitals that combine medical care with clinical training. Research projects include deep-sea mining and neutron scattering technology, fields in which few Chinese universities are active.
