Sun Yat-sen University, founded in 1924 by the Chinese democratic revolutionary Dr. Sun Yat-sen, is a preeminent academic and cultural center and the premier location for talent cultivation and knowledge creation in South China. Its main campus is located in the modern metropolis of Guangzhou, known formerly in the West as Canton, with a branch campus nestled in the beautiful coastal city of Zhuhai. The university is under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China and is a member of Projects 211 and 985, exclusive national higher education organizations at the vanguard of the drive to develop Chinese universities into world-class institutions. With a firmly established reputation as a top-ten university nationally and a burgeoning international profile, SYSU is moving from strength to strength as it strives to become a first-tier world university and global center of learning. Built on a solid multidisciplinary foundation of humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, medical sciences, and engineering, SYSU is propelled forward by the continuous pursuit of academic innovation.
