History

[edit]

SUSTech was established in 2010. As it did not get the permission from Ministry of Education to admit high school graduates that year, it admitted home educated students, and became the second university to help enhance home-grown talent and innovation, as well as to further develop a culture of tertiary education in China.[6]: 120  In the following years though, it admits regular high school graduates just like the other universities as it obtained the needed permission.

It is located in the rapidly-growing tech capital city of Shenzhen.

Location

[edit]

SUSTech is located on a large campus covering an area of 1,978,980 m2 in the Nanshan District of Shenzhen. The campus is a mix of modern buildings, streams and tree-lined green spaces. The university is committed to environmental-friendly policies and aims to have zero carbon emissions.[7]
