[edit] History

Beijing Institute of Geology (BIG) was a merger of the geology departments of Tsinghua University, Peking University and Tianjin University. It was among China's first 16 key universities back in the 1950s. The university suspended operations from 1966-1970 due to the Cultural Revolution, and reopened in Jiangling County, Hubei Province, in 1970 as Hubei Institute of Geology.

In 1975 the campus was moved to Wuhan, and the school was renamed Wuhan Institute of Geology 　(WIG). In 1978 BIG reopened in Beijing with the help of Deng Xiaoping. In 1986 the Chinese Government ratified the foundation of the Graduate School of WIG. It was ranked as one of the first 33 Graduate Schools nationwide. Later in 1987 BIG and WIG were renamed China University of Geosciences Beijing and China University of Geosciences Wuhan, respectively. CUG is among the first batch of 15 universities in project 211 for Higher Education.^[1]
