Kunming University of Science and Technology (KUST) is located in the beautiful spring city of China – Kunming, the capital city of the mysterious and attractive Yunnan province, the province located in the remote south of the colorful clouds. As the largest university in Yunnan province and one of the well-known universities in china, the earliest departments of KUST started admitting undergraduate students for bachelor’s degree in March 1925, and KUST became an independent public higher education institution in September 1954. In October 1999, based on a decision made by Yunnan provincial government and approved by the ministry of education of china, the former KUST and Yunnan polytechnic university (founded in 1974) amalgamated into a new and much larger university and remained under the name of Kunming University of Science and Technology (KUST).
