About HUAT

Hubei University of Automotive Technology (HUAT) was founded in 1972 with Mr. Meng Shaonong, the former member of the Chinese Academy of Science appointed as its first president. It has been the only one undergraduate university with automobile industry as the name of a university in China.

Because of the advantages in automobile engineering, we were reputed to be the Cradle of Automobile Engineers. In 2007, we passed the assessment conducted by Ministry of education with excellent scores for undergraduate teaching and in 2008 we were allowed to officially start preparations for graduate enrollment. In 2011, we were approved by Ministry of education to become the first pioneer universities for excellent engineer cultivation. In the same year, the government of Hubei Province signed an agreement with DFM Corporation to jointly invest on HUAT.

HUAT is located in the picturesque city of Shiyan, covering a area of about five hundred and fifty thousand square meters. It is an ideal place for study and research. With information network available to all the dormitories, a library with large number of books, journals and digital information stored there and well-spaced teaching and lab buildings scattered the whole campus, we strive to form a convenient community for teachers and students here.
