It is one of the earliest comprehensive national universities in modern China.

It is honored as the “Most Beautiful University in China.” Furthermore, Wuhan University’s centennial humanistic accumulation boils down to its succinct motto, that is, “Improve Oneself, Promote Perseverance, Seek Truth and Make Innovations.”

      . " Wuhan University may be considered one of the best in China but to tell you the truth the international school is not the best and as an international student you will never have priority. I would expect a little more effort made by the administration in certain areas. The dorms are okay, some buildings can be infested with critters you did not expect and the place will not be the cleanest but the place is generally liveable. The best part of the experience for me was the people that I made and the friends I made. More often than not from students who have studied in China, you'll hear that the best part is actually coming to China not so much the studying here. What I mean by that is overcoming cultural and language barriers, making friends in an entirely new country and environment, getting used to unusual food etc. So if I am brutally honest about Wuhan University then I would say it will not be the best standard of education you could receive if you're taught in English or Chinese (but especially in English). The bigger faculties like law and medicine will generally have better lecturers and maybe even some foreign professors but the quality of education in the smaller ones may not be as good. Definitely take coming here with a pinch of salt. Yes, studying on scholarship is an attractive offer, but think about what you really want from your education. Hope this helps."
