History[]

Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages (formerly Wenzao Ursuline College of Languages) was named in honor of Luo Wenzao, the first Chinese bishop.

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". It was renamed "Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages" in 2013.
