History

Early history

In 1958, the Ningbo Regional Agricultural Vocational School was established. [7] In 1960, it merged with the Ningbo Regional Institute of Agricultural Sciences and the Ningbo Regional Agricultural Tools Research Institute to form Ningbo Agricultural College. [8] The college was renamed Ningbo Regional Agricultural Vocational School in 1961. [8] In 1971, it merged with Ningbo Forestry School to become the Ningbo Regional Agriculture and Forestry School. [8] This institution was upgraded to Ningbo Regional Agricultural College in 1976. [8] The following year, in 1977, the college became the Ningbo Branch of Zhejiang Agricultural University. [8] In 1984, it was restructured as Zhejiang Rural Technical Teachers College. [9]

After privatization

In February 1999, the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government implemented a reform to address the college's financial difficulties. As a result, the institution was restructured into a privately managed, government-owned university and renamed Zhejiang Wanli Vocational College in November. [10] In 2002, the institution was granted "college" (学院) status, was renamed literally "Zhejiang Wanli College" (浙江万里学院) in the Chinese language, and started to provide bachelor's degree programs. [7]

In 2004, the school established a partnership with the University of Nottingham, which led to the foundation of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China. [11] [12] Zhejiang party secretary Xi Jinping attended the campus inauguration ceremony. [13]

In October 2019, the school opened its oversea campus in Hamburg, Germany. [14] [15] In 2021, the school was accredited for three master's degree programs. [16]

During the White Paper Protests, students at Zhejiang Wanli University gained attention on social media and from rallies for posting a protest notice outside their classroom walls. The notice read: "Mourn, do not be numb, do not remain silent, do not turn a blind eye, do not forget." Nearby, a torn poster with the word "Freedom" was displayed. At the bottom, a famous quote from writer Lu Xun was included: "May the youth of China rid themselves of apathy." The notice concluded with the words: "This society must at least give young people hope!" [17]

In June 2024, the school established Ningbo Modern Agricultural College (宁波现代农学院) at the former site of the Zhejiang Agricultural University Ningbo Branch. [18]
