Sun Yat-sen University

Sun Yat-sen University, originally known as Guangdong University, was founded in 1924 by Dr Sun Yat-sen (also called Sun Zhongshan), a great democratic revolutionary leader of the 20th century. The university is located in Guangdong Province, an area neighbouring Hong Kong and Macao, which is at the forefront of China’s reform and opening up. Sun Yat-sen University is a comprehensive multidisciplinary university, including the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, technical sciences, medical sciences, pharmacology and management sciences. Benefiting from its location near Hong Kong and Macao and the regional advantage of opening and economic development, the university has become a base for training high-level talents and scientific research, providing services to society and inheriting cultural traditions. The university has also successfully built international cooperation and exchange relationships with many top universities in the world.
