What level of university does South China University of Technology belong to in China?

South China University of Technology is a Category A world-class university construction university and a 985 Project university. Among the nearly 3,000 higher education institutions in China, its comprehensive indicators must be among the top 30.

Position in engineering universities

China's top engineering universities are basically within the scope of double first-class and 985 engineering universities.

The comprehensive strength of some of these universities is stronger than that of South China University of Technology.

For example, 10 universities are Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Tongji University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Southeast University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Tianjin University, and Harbin Institute of Technology.

So after calculation, among the universities in the country that are famous for engineering, South China University of Technology can be ranked in the top 15. There is no doubt about this.

Status within Guangdong Province

In Guangdong Province, Sun Yat-sen University is the undisputed leader. This status depends not only on the college entrance examination scores (after all, the scores of Harbin Institute of Technology Shenzhen Campus and the Chinese University of Hong Kong Shenzhen Campus are very high), but also depends on the enrollment scale and historical origins. and social acceptance.

Behind Sun Yat-sen University is South China University of Technology. Alumni trained by Sun Yat-sen University have a strong voice in the political circles of Guangdong Province. Alumni of South China University of Technology include many entrepreneurs and innovative entrepreneurial talents.

Advantageous subjects and others

South China University of Technology's main teaching campuses are Wushan Campus and University City Campus, with half of its students coming from Guangdong Province. It was once one of the four major engineering schools and one of the eight oldest schools of architecture.

In the fourth round of subject evaluation by the Ministry of Education, South China University of Technology ranked A+ in light industry technology and engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, architecture, environmental science and engineering, chemical engineering and technology, food science and engineering, and management. Science and Engineering.

Among these 1 A+ and 7 A-, only management science and engineering are management disciplines, the others are engineering disciplines, and management science and engineering itself is also an interdisciplinary subject of management and engineering. It can be seen that the engineering characteristics of South China University of Technology are very distinctive.
