Nanjing Medical University (NMU; Chinese: 南京医科大学) is a university in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China. It was established in 1934 in Zhenjiang,[1] but subsequently relocated to Nanjing in 1957.[2] The university has two main campuses: Wutai and Jiangning. In 1962, it began offering six-year programs and, in 1981, was approved to award doctoral and master's degrees.[3]

NMU was founded in 1934 as National Jiangsu Medical College. When the institution moved to Nanjing in 1957, it was renamed Nanjing Medical College. In 1962, it joined the first group of Chinese medical universities to offer six-year programs, and was approved to confer doctoral and master’s degrees in 1981. In 1993, it was renamed Nanjing Medical University with the approval of the State Educational Committee. Today, NMU stands as one of the top medical universities in China.[citation needed]
