The city is also famous as one of the foremost center for science, education and culture in Central China. As one of the most important universities in Wuhan, WUT occupies an area of 267 hectares with the total construction area of over 1.52 million square meters. It has numerous campuses spread through the Wuhan metropolitan area. 
  WUT has formed a system of diverse disciplines, including engineering, science, literature, management, economics, law, philosophy, history, education, medicine and many
more. There are 79 undergraduate programs, 153 postgraduate programs (including MBA, MPA and MFA), 62 doctoral programs and 13 post-doctoral research stations. WUT has also established 3 national key laboratories and industrial experiment bases as well as 24 provincial/ministerial key laboratories and engineering research centers. 
  WUT has attached great importance to the development of its faculty. Currently, there are approximately 6,000 full time employees, among whom there are 3,000 faculty members, including 582 professors, 1,173 associate professors, 6 academicians both of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 2 scholars of the "One-thousand-talent Plan", 2 chief scientists of the "973 Program" and the "Important Sci-tech Research Plan", 5 Cheung Kong scholars, 13 Chutian Scholars, 75 young experts with prominent national and provincial contributions, 4 experts of the "National Excellent Youth Foundation", 9 experts of the "New Century One-hundred-million-talent Project" and 212 experts with special governmental allowances.
