Welcome to the South China University of Technology.
SCUT is a leading institution of higher education directly governed by the Ministry of Education in China, first founded in 1952 by merging the engineering schools and departments of several major universities and polytechnic institutes in several provinces. With values inherited from those schools, universities, and institutes, despite all the vicissitudes and hardships in the past sixty-six years since the merge, SCUT has been committed to educating students into top talents and building the University into a top university. Now she has become a comprehensive research university with balanced development in management, economy, liberal arts, law, and medical science while maintaining its leading position in engineering.
Educating students is our mission. We have formed a unique SCUT model of education and gained recognition for it. With the primary goal of education in mind, we adopt the new concepts of research-based teaching and inquiry-based learning to stimulate the creation, innovation, and entrepreneurship in students in an open environment in which SCUT cooperates with companies, research institutes, and universities to use resources of both within and outside of the University and both home and abroad for the same goal.
Doing researches and innovating is our duty. Scientific researches have been the foundation of our development.
Opening for more cooperation is our culture. With our advantage in geographic location and the historic opportunities provided by the belt-and-road and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area initiatives, we started to build SCUT Guangzhou International Campus and establish cooperation at deeper levels with top universities in the world. We now have long-term cooperation with more than 200 universities or research institutes in other countries, Confucius institutes as bridges for cultural communications, and more than 2000 international students from more than 130 countries, making the University a big family with diversified cultures.
So the future of SCUT will unroll on a global stage with a global perspective and global-wide excellence. We will take the opportunities provided by the "Double World-Class Universities" plan and the building of SCUT Guangzhou International Campus to attract and foster top-level professors. With the best-internationalized education and research platform at SCUT, our students will gain global competence and become shapers of the future, thus contribute to the creation, spreading, and development of human beings' civilization.
We look forward to more students from over the world, joining SCUT. Let us join hands to embark on our journey of dreams that lead to the world and the future.
