History

Early history

In 1950，Zhejiang Provincial Ningbo Agricultural Technical School was established，the school is located at the site of Wuling College(武岭学院), which was established by Chiang Kai-shek.^[10] In 1958, the Ningbo Regional Agricultural Vocational School was established.^[11] 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.^[12] The college was renamed Ningbo Regional Agricultural Vocational School in 1961.^[12] In 1971, it merged with Ningbo Forestry School to become the Ningbo Regional Agriculture and Forestry School.^[12] This institution was upgraded to Ningbo Regional Agricultural College in 1976.^[12] The following year, in 1977, the college became the Ningbo Branch of Zhejiang Agricultural University.^[12] In 1984, it was restructured as Zhejiang Rural Technical Teachers College.^[13]

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 Technical College (浙江万里职业技术学院) in November.^[14] 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.^[6]^[11]

In 2004, the school established a partnership with the University of Nottingham, which led to the foundation of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China.^[15] Zhejiang party secretary Xi Jinping attended the campus inauguration ceremony.^[16]

In October 2019, the school opened its oversea campus in Hamburg, Germany.^[17]^[18] In 2021, the school was accredited for three master's degree programs.^[19]

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!"^[20]

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.^[21]
