Southeast University (SEU) is one of the national key universities administered directly under the Ministry of Education of China. As a centennial prestigious university, it is located near the city center of Nanjing, to the west of the Purple Mountain and the south of Xuanwu Lake.

Southeast University is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in China, whose origin can be traced back to 1902, when it was founded as Sanjiang Normal College. In 2000 Nanjing Railway Medical College (which is listed by WHO), Nanjing College of Communication and Nanjing Geological School were incorporateted into Southeast University.

Now Southeast University has developed into a comprehensive university, boasting over 40 schools or departments with 60 undergraduate disciplines in all. It also has 15 post-doctoral stations, and offers 105 PhD programs and 200 Master's programs; it holds a national lead in architecture, civil engineering, electronics, information technology, energy, power engineering, and transportation technology, etc. 

Southeast University has the total number of faculty and staff of about 6000, including over 1500 professors and associate professors, 300 doctoral supervisors, 7 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Academy of Engineering. At present, the number of the full-time students is over 26000, of whom about 9000 are postgraduates.

东南大学是中央直管、教育部直属的全国重点大学，是“985工程”和“211工程”重点建设的大学之一，是国务院首批可授予博士、硕士、学士学位和审定教授、副教授任职资格及自批增列博士生导师的高校。学校坐落于历史文化名城南京，占地面积6300多亩，建有四牌楼、九龙湖、丁家桥等校区。

东南大学是我国最早建立的高等学府之一，素有“学府圣地”和“东南学府第一流”之美誉。东南大学前身是创建于1902年的三江师范学堂。1921年经近代著名教育家郭秉文先生竭力倡导，以南京高等师范学校为基础正式建立东南大学，成为当时国内仅有的两所国立综合性大学之一。郭秉文先生出任首任校长，他周咨博访、广延名师，数十位著名学者、专家荟萃东大,遂有“北大以文史哲著称、东大以科学名世”之美誉。1928年学校改名为国立中央大学，设理、工、医、农、文、法、教育七个学院，学科之全和规模之大为全国高校之冠。1952年全国院系调整，学校文理等科迁出，以原中大工学院为主体，先后并入复旦大学、交通大学、浙江大学、金陵大学等校的有关系、科，在中央大学本部原址建立了南京工学院。1988年5月，学校复更名为东南大学。2000年4月，原南京铁道医学院、南京交通高等专科学校与东南大学合并组建新的东南大学，南京地质学校并入东南大学。
