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 neighboring Hong Kong and Macao, which is at the forefront of China's reform and opening up.

Being one of the leading universities in the People's Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen University is a comprehensive multi-disciplinary university, including the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, technical sciences, medical sciences, pharmacology, and management science. At present, Sun Yat-sen University covers a total area of 6.17 square kilometers and has 4 campuses:

In 1935, the Graduate School was set up and began to enroll students.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Sun Yat-sen University was known as one of the China's key universities. It was among the first batch of institutions to award doctorate and master's degrees, and to establish post-doctoral research stations in the country.

In the 1950s, Sun Yat-sen University became a comprehensive university with liberal arts and sciences as its core disciplines.

In September 2000, the Zhuhai Campus of Sun Yat-sen University in Tang Jia Wan, Zhuhai City, was completed. This much-needed expansion laid a solid foundation for further advancement and development of the university.

On October 26th, 2001，Sun Yat-sen University and Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences were merged to form the new Sun Yat-sen University.

I n 2001，through an agreement("985" Project for year 2001-2003}, signed between the Ministry of Education and the People's Government of Guangdong Province, Sun Yat-sen became one of the key nationally-supported universities.

In September 2004, Guangzhou East Campus was completed in Guangzhou University City, again creating additional facilities to further the university's development.

In 2005, the Ministry of Education and People's Government of Guangdong Province signed the second agreement("985" Project for year 2004-2008 ) to provide support for the further development of Sun Yak-sen University.
