In 1952, Beijing Institute of Geology was founded as a result of the merger of the geological departments from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Tianjin University, and Tangshan Railway College. It was among China's first 16 key universities back in the 1950s.
1970–1978: re-location
The university suspended operations from 1966–1970 due to the Cultural Revolution, and reopened in Jiangling County, Hubei Province, in 1970 as Hubei College of Geology. In 1975, the campus was moved to Wuhan, and the school was renamed Wuhan College of Geology.
1978–1987: reconstruction
In 1978, the graduate faculties relocated in Beijing under the support of Mr. Deng Xiaoping, the leader of the People’s Republic of China. In 1986, the Beijing Graduate School of Wuhan College of Geology was founded in the original campus of former Beijing Institute of Geology, Beijing.
1987–2005: revitalization
In 1987, Wuhan College of Geology was renamed China University of Geosciences. The China University of Geosciences has two campuses in Beijing and Wuhan respectively, both of which have independent legal personalities. In 1997, CUGB was approved as one of key universities construction of the 211 project. In February 2000, CUGB was put under the management of the Ministry of Education.
