Founded in 1980 as Hangzhou Industrial College Affiliated with Zhejiang University, it was officially renamed Zhejiang University of Science and Technology in 2023. As one of the first pilot universities for the Ministry of Education's 'Excellent Engineer Education and Training Program' and a 'Characteristic International University of Zhejiang Province', ZUST has a 40-year partnership with Lower Saxony, Germany, and is a key participant in Sino-German government cooperation projects.

ZUST's flagship programs are in engineering and technology, particularly mechanical, electrical, computer, and civil engineering. Thanks to its deep cooperation with Lower Saxony, Germany, the university has adopted the practice-oriented teaching model of German Universities of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschulen).

It is among the first batch of universities selected for the Ministry of Education's 'Excellent Engineer Education and Training Program' and the 'Emerging Engineering Education Research and Practice Project', leading in applied talent cultivation in China.

ZUST comprises 18 colleges and 1 teaching department, offering 49 undergraduate programs. The faculty is strong, with over 1,440 full-time teachers, of whom nearly 570 hold senior professional titles and 63% hold doctoral degrees.

The curriculum emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, with many programs co-developed with German partner universities, providing students with opportunities for corporate internships and project research. In research, ZUST is a doctoral degree-granting project unit in Zhejiang Province and hosts several provincial and ministerial research platforms, such as the Sino-German Cooperation Research Center and the Intelligent Manufacturing Laboratory.

The Xiaoheshan campus in Hangzhou is located near the scenic Xixi Wetland, offering a beautiful environment and convenient transportation. The Anji campus in Huzhou features an eco-friendly design with modern teaching buildings, libraries, laboratories, and sports facilities.

Both campuses provide comfortable dormitories, dining halls, and recreational areas, ensuring a high quality of life. The entire campus is covered by Wi-Fi, and learning resources are abundant.
