Established in 1929, Chongqing University has evolved from its nascent aspiration to become a "well-equipped and influential university" to its current stature as a multidisciplinary powerhouse. The University now has a comprehensive array of academic disciplines, ranging from liberal arts and sciences to engineering, business, law, and medical sciences.

Throughout its history, Chongqing University has achieved several pivotal milestones. It transitioned into a multidisciplinary institution with an engineering core in 1952, earned the prestigious status of a national key university in 1960, and was selected for pivotal development under China's "Project 211" in 1998. The strategic amalgamation with Chongqing Jianzhu University and Chongqing Architecture Junior College in 2000 further broadened its academic horizons. The institution's prestige was further elevated with its inclusion in the "Project 985" in 2001 and its recognition as a "Class-A University" within the National World-First-Rate University Construction Program in 2017. In 2022, it was distinguished as a “World Class University," heralding a new epoch in its ambition to be a globally renowned institution with distinctive Chinese characteristics.
