Shandong University is a key comprehensive university directly under the Ministry of Education. It boasts a long history, a complete range of disciplines, strong strength, and distinct characteristics, exerting significant influence both at home and abroad. It is also a university participating in China's "Double First-Class" Initiative (a national project to build world-class universities and first-class disciplines). The main body of Shandong University traces back to Shandong University Hall founded in 1901. It was the second national university established in China after the Imperial University of Peking (now Peking University), and also the first university in China to operate in accordance with a formal charter. Over more than a century, Shandong University has adhered to its mission of "Cultivating Talents for the World and Striving for the Prosperity of the Nation", followed its school motto of "Boundless Learning, Unwavering Integrity", and formed a school spirit of "Emphasizing Practice and Pursuing Innovation". It has cultivated over 600,000 talents of various types for the country and society, making important contributions to the economic and social development of the nation and its regions.

The stamp design takes the logo of Shandong University as its core element. The graphic part of the logo serves as the background to further elaborate the theme, resulting in a concise overall layout that highlights the central subject.

This stamp set was designed by Yu Qiuyan and printed by Beijing Stamp Factory Co., Ltd. using the combined process of offset printing and engraving.
