What the directory is built from

Three published lists, nothing else

Entries were checked against the sources below on 11 October 2026. The directory does not rank universities and does not add figures that the lists do not contain.

  • Double First-Class list

    The second-round list, issued on 9 February 2022 by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission, names the universities and the disciplines listed for each one.

    Notice on moe.gov.cn ↗

  • National list of institutions

    The Ministry of Education's list of higher education institutions as of 17 June 2026 gives each university's institution code, administering body, location and level.

    List on moe.gov.cn ↗

  • Discipline catalogue

    The official catalogue of disciplines places each first-level discipline under a category such as Engineering or Medicine. The directory uses it to group disciplines by subject area.
