About SUAT

SUAT is a newly established University at Shenzhen, the power city of industrial innovation and entrepreneurship. Upon an agreement between the Chinese Academy Sciences and the Shenzhen Government, SUAT was initiated and established by the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. 

It was also agreed that both SUAT and SIAT will continuously maintain and enhance their close collaboration, leveraging tremendous R/D resources on both sides (scholarly talents, research facilities, industrial relationship networks, etc.), and consequently benefitting the development and growth of both institutions.

The mission of SUAT is to nurture top-notch innovative young talents in critical academic fields in high demand by the urgent needs of national and global development. As such, SUAT has built a brand-new campus, designed innovative academic programs, created (Yale-like) residential colleges and established academic faculties in several multi-disciplinary fields.

These initial efforts by SUAT have received consistently positive responses and support from students and parents. In 2024, SUAT has enrolled its first cohort of undergraduate students, admitting 120 physics majors of Guangdong Province. Comparing the scores of the very first cohort of SUAT’s UG students, SUAT has been ranked #1 among all universities that are headquartered in Guangdong Province. Indeed, the students SUAT admitted this year are among the top 1.2% among all students who applied for colleges. The following is a list of SUAT’s current faculties departments and institutes:
