History
Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages (formerly Wenzao Ursuline College of Languages) was named in honor of "Wenzao Lo", the first Chinese Bishop. Wenzao is known for its commitment to excellence in foreign languages teaching and research.
It was founded in 1966 by the sisters of the Roman Union of the Order of St. Ursula as "Wenzao Ursuline Junior College of Modern Languages". At the beginning of its establishment, admission was only open to female students. In 1980, Wenzao first opened its doors to male students. In 1999, it was officially restructured to become "Wenzao Ursuline College of Languages" and renamed "Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages" in 2013.
