IntroductionSouthern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) is an innovation-oriented public university founded by Shenzhen government in the background of China's higher education reform. It aspires to be a model and pioneer for promoting higher education reform. It is committed to serving the mission of promoting Shenzhen as a modern, international, and innovative city and China as a creative country.
SUSTech is widely regarded as a trailblazer and innovator in advancing China's higher education. It was officially approved by the Ministry of Education in April 2012. SUSTech bears the responsibility for exploring and developing a modern university system with Chinese characteristics to serve as a model for cultivating innovative talents. SUSTech aims at a globally renowned university that contributes to the advancement of science and technology. It nurtures promising and creative leaders who excel in interdisciplinary research and creating knowledge for the world.
SUSTech draws on the experience of world-class science and engineering universities for its disciplinary establishment and governance. It focuses on science, engineering, and medicine in conjunction with distinctive disciplines, including business, humanities, and social sciences. SUSTech offers undergraduate and postgraduate education while conducting research in a series of innovative disciplines. All of those practices shape SUSTech into a think tank for social progress and a generator of new knowledge and new technology.
SUSTech is building interdisciplinary research centers to generate new scientific and technological wisdom in cross-disciplinary fields such as artificial intelligence, life sciences, Internet of things, robotics, new energy, and intelligent manufacturing.
In the spirit of "For Truth, Innovation, Reform and Excellence with Diligence and Courage," SUSTech highlights "research, innovation, and entrepreneurship" and dedicates to facilitating innovative projects across China and turning Shenzhen into an innovative, modern, and international metropolis.
SUSTech also seeks to become an international high-level research university that gathers first-class faculty and nurtures top-notch innovative talents. It aims to produce internationally recognized academic achievements and advance scientific and technological applications.
About the ProgramAerospace Engineering is a modern area that exemplifies the need for interdisciplinary problem solving and the mind for innovation. Aerospace Engineering is also an area of national strategic importance and high priority for growth. The Aerospace Engineering bachelor program at SUSTech is led by the Member of Chinese National Academy of Engineering, and the faculty consists of several renowned scholars. Major areas include aircraft design and engineering, aircraft propulsion, and aircraft manufacturing. The design and analysis of Aerospace Engineering relies on solid grasp of broad subjects of mechanics, heat transfer, material science, and electronics; the proficient knowledge of these subjects are applicable in other areas such as mechanical engineering and civil engineering. The students trained by the Aerospace Engineering program are expected to establish solid foundations of mathematics and mechanics, as well as deep understanding of basic aircraft design theory, strong capabilities in structural analysis, and good hands-on skills.
About Southern University of Science and TechnologySUSTech's first cohort of international students arrived in 2016 and we currently host students from a dozen countries, including Cambodia, Russia, Malaysia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, USA, South Korea, and others. SUSTech is distinguished by its international, individualized, elite undergraduate education based on the credit system, with residential colleges and dual-faculty advising. For international students, we offer courses taught in English by a highly internationalised faculty with over 90% having work or educational experience at an overseas institution. To promote cultural fusion and exchange on campus, SUSTech adopts similar standards for all students, both international and domestic, in teaching, exam requirements, educational resources, and services provided. For outstanding international students, SUSTech offers full scholarships which cover tuition fees, accommodation, insurance and living expenses.
AccommodationSUSTech operates on the principle of equality between international and domestic students. Regarding accommodation, this means that our international students live alongside our Chinese students in the brand new dormitories (as of 2019) on our evergreen campus. The dormitories for undergraduate students consist of 4 person rooms, each with 4 bunkbeds, and desk and closet space underneath. Bathroom facilities are separate on each floor, with 8 showers and 8 toilets shared in the same floor. Whilst the dorm buildings are co-ed, there are single-sex floors with restricted access. This arrangement will change in the coming years as more new students transition to the new dormitories, although female floors will always the top floors within each building, providing stunning views across the campus. For safety reasons, no cooking facilities or kitchens are provided within the dormitories. Students can purchase cold foods for storage in personal refrigerators or make use of the campus.
