University of Science and Technology of China

University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) is the only university affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). It was founded in Beijing in September 1958 and moved to Hefei City, the provincial capital of Anhui Province, in the early 1970s. Since its very beginning, CAS has adopted a policy of "running the university with resources of the entire CAS and integrating each of its departments with relevant CAS research institutes." With the special support and construction by CAS and Chinese government, USTC has now become an important national base for high-quality talent cultivation and high-level scientific research. It is one of the C9 League, an association of nine top Chinese universities.

Introduction

As a key university of the nation, it is noted for its advanced science and high technology programs, unique management studies and well-tailored disciplines in the humanities. USTC now has 8 national key programs of first-level disciplines: mathematics, physics, chemistry, geophysics, biology, history of science and technology, mechanics, etc., 4 national key programs of secondlevel disciplines, 2 programs with major national support, and 20 programs with major provincial and ministerial support. It has 34 national-level and CAS/provincial/ ministerial-level laboratories and research centers, including the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, the National Key Laboratory of Fire Science, the National High Performance Computing Center at Hefei, and the National Geophysical Observatory at Mengcheng. USTC has 1,162 full-time teachers and 286 researchers, among whom 32 are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences or Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), 9 academicians of the Third World Academy of Sciences, 342 doctoral advisors, 450 professors and 646 associate professors. Of its 15,500 plus students, over 1,900 are doctoral students, over 6,200 are master's students, and more than 7,400 are undergraduate

students. Over the past fifty years, USTC has faithfully kept to its high-quality educational mission. By the end of 2009, the University has graduated some 50,000 students, 46 of whom have eventually become CAS or CAE academicians. On average, every 1,000 of its college graduates

would see over 700 continue to pursue and receive a master's or doctor's degree and one elected CAS or CAE academician, which ranks among the top few of Chinese universities. From 2000, USTC had joined Chinese Government Scholarship Programs (CGSP).
