Zhejiang Ocean University

Zhejiang Ocean University (simplified as ZJOU hereafter) is established by Ministry of Natural Resources and the People’s Government of Zhejiang Province, and it has become one of the key universities in Zhejiang province. ZJOU was founded in 1958, initially named as Zhoushan Fishery College and then in 1975 was renamed as Zhejiang Fishery College. In 1998, Zhejiang Ocean College was established with the combination of Zhejiang Fishery College and Zhoushan Normal College, while the Institute of Zhejiang Marine and Fishery and other units were incorporated into Zhejiang Ocean College after 2000. In 2016, Zhejiang Fishery College was officially named as Zhejiang Ocean University. For more than 60 years, the school has changed its locations several times, while the spirit of ZJOU remains unchanged. Just as the school motto of ZJOU says: Embracing Diversity, Pursuing Excellence. With decades of development, ZJOU has gradually explored the unique way to combine the common law of higher education with the reality of ZJOU itself, which has further highlighted the ocean-oriented features.
