Welcome to the School of Computer Science and Engineering of South China University of Technology (SCUT)!
South China University of Technology is one of the earliest universities engaged in research and teaching in computer science in China. The first analogue computer in the Southern China and the first Russian translation machine in China were also developed by South China University of Technology. The program in Computer Science has been provided in 1960, while the department of Computer Science and Engineering is established in 1981. The establishment the School of Computer Science and Engineering was in 2001. Through the solid foundation, our school made significant achievement not only on knowledge transfer to our students but also our research with high-caliber staff and state-of-the-art facilities.
Student development is put at the forefront of our priorities, and we aim to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the ever-changing needs of the world. We offer 7 undergraduate programs, 2 Master programs, and 2 Doctoral degrees. Currently we have over 1259 full-time undergraduate, 526 full-time and 185 part-time graduate students working towards achieving their degrees. Our Computer Science and Technology Innovative Undergraduate Program (English) has been selected as the National Special Program, the first batch of Guangdong Province Excellent Program, and First grade Key Program of Guangdong Province. Many of our outstanding accomplishments were achieved by our students in recent years.
Under the leadership of one National Natural Science Fund Outstanding Youth Foundation recipient, one National Natural Science Foundation of China Excellent Youth Fund recipient, and three Guangdong Natural Science Funds for Distinguished Young Scholar recipients, our research has generated high impacts on both academic values and practical applications. A number of research teams are set up to conduct a wide range of research projects. Recently, we are actively conducting over 100 research and industrial projects related to cloud computing, machine learning, multimedia analysis, etc. Guangdong Key Laboratory and research center have been established in order to carry out spearheading top-quality interdisciplinary research.
We are not only playing an important role in the development of science, technology and economic in south china area, but also has a close, extensive cooperation with the world’s best universities and enterprises. Owing to its advanced discipline direction, strong teaching staffs, good academic atmosphere, high-level scientific research and teaching conditions, School of Computer Science and Engineering strongly attracts students to enroll in our university to pursue advanced studies. We sincerely and warmly welcome experts, scholars and young students who are interested in information science and technology to School of Computer Science and Engineering and let us work together and accomplish outstanding achievement in the information age in the 21st century!
