About Zhejiang University
Zhejiang University traces its origins to Qiushi Academy, which opened in Hangzhou in May 1897 with 30 students, and it took the name National Zhejiang University in 1928. During the war with Japan it moved repeatedly before settling in Zunyi and Meitan in Guizhou. The present university was formed in 1998 by merging Zhejiang University with Hangzhou University, Zhejiang Agricultural University and Zhejiang Medical University.
