History

Shanghai University was rebuilt in 1994 by consolidating Shanghai University of Technology (上海工业大学), Shanghai University of Science & Technology (上海科技大学),the former Shanghai University（原上海大学）and Shanghai Science & Technology College (上海科技高等专科学校).

Shanghai University was founded at Qingyun Road, Zhabei District, Shanghai in 1922 and was the outcome of the cooperation between the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party) and the Communist Party. Youren Yu (于右任), a notable member of Kuomintang, was the first president of the university. At that time under the revolutionary government led by Sun Yat-sen, Shanghai University was the top school in liberal arts, while Whampoa Military Academy was the elite school in military training.

Shanghai University was closed due to the the civil war. The old campus was destroyed during World War II. Afterwards, Shanghai University was re-opened with the traditional focus of liberal arts in 1983.

Shanghai University of Technology was once Shanghai Institute of Technology (上海工学院), founded in 1960 with a strong background of engineering, technology and industries. The institute was renamed Shanghai University of Technology in 1979. The university was located at Yanchang Road, Zhabei District, Shanghai. Professor Weichang Chien (钱伟长) was the president of the university since 1982 and eventually led to the consolidated Shanghai University in 1994.

Shanghai University of Science & Technology was formed by the East China Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 1958 with a close relationship to the academic and science institutes. The University was located at Chengzhong Road, Jiading District, Shanghai.

The former Shanghai University was founded in 1983, including School of Liberal Arts, School of International Business, School of Fine Arts, School of Engineering and School of Laws. These schools respectively came from part of Fudan University, part of merged Shanghai Foreign Studies University and Shanghai Mechanics College, Shanghai Fine Arts College, part of merged East China Normal University and Shanghai Science & Technology University, Shanghai Laws College.

Shanghai Science & Technology College was once Shanghai No. 2 Science & Technology School established in 1959, and the school became a college in 1981.

The new Baoshan Campus, located at Shangda Road, Baoshan District, Shanghai, was constructed as the main campus of the consolidated Shanghai University.
