Chongqing Normal University (Chinese: 重庆师范大学) is one of the major public research universities in Chongqing, China. Founded in 1954 as East Sichuan Normal School, it is one of the institutions of higher learning in the People's Republic of China and a top university in Chongqing, China.[2]

It is composed of seventeen academic faculties offering a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs. The university has three main campuses: the University City Campus, located on Huxi Street in the Chongqing High-tech Development Zone; the Beibei Campus, situated on Beiquan Road in Beibei District; and the Shapingba Campus, located on Tianchen Road in Shapingba District. The university's library is the largest academic library system in Chongqing, with approximately 20.4 million items, including 79 electronic book databases and around 2.69 million physical items.[3]

Chongqing Normal University is authorized by the Ministry of Education China to admit international students. It was recognized by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office as one of the first Chinese language educational centres and was awarded the National Teaching Base for International Promotion of Chinese, which is a designation given to select institutions in China promoting the language by the Confucius Institute in 2007.[4]

The Faculty of Politics at Chongqing Normal University is considered one of the leading political research institutions in China. The faculty, which is led by Meng Dongfang, also the president of the university, hosts several teaching and research platforms, including the Ministry of Education's Innovation and Development Center for Ideological and Political Education, the Chongqing Research Center for Civic Morality and Social Construction, and the Chongqing Theoretical Research Center for Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.[5]

The history of Chongqing Normal University dates back to the founding of the official East Sichuan Normal School in 1906. The first principal was Deng Ken, the younger brother of Deng Xiaoping, who served as Vice Mayor of Chongqing City and Vice Governor of Hubei. In 1960, Guo Moruo, then president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, wrote the name of the school by himself. In 2003, the university was officially named Chongqing Normal University.
