Strong Academics

Among domestic universities, USTC has the largest number of research achievements that have been acknowledged by distinguished academic authorities. Concerted efforts at USTC have pushed 15 research fields into the ranks of the ESI global top 1%. Among these, physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering are all listed in the top 0.1% globally. Meanwhile, USTC ranks first among Chinese universities by the Nature Index. 20 discoveries/innovations have been selected into Chinas Annual Release of Top 10 Scientific Advances.

Additionally, USTC is the only university in China operating two national labs: the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory and the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale. It jointly operates two national "big science" facilities along with CAS institutes: the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak and the Steady High Magnetic Field of the High Magnetic Field Laboratory. It has also been instrumental in establishing the Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center. In addition, Deep Space Exploration Laboratory is under construction.

Superior Research

USTC is home to the worlds first quantum communications satellite "Micius", the worlds first thousand-kilometer level of trunk line (the "Beijing-Shanghai Line") for secure quantum telecommunications, the optical quantum computer, iron-based superconducting, intelligent speech recognition, and a large number of other original and significant scientific and technological achievements, including a series of breakthroughs in high-temperature superconductivity, nanotechnology, as well as in interdisciplinary areas, including big data, artificial intelligence (AI), Earth and environmental sciences, and life sciences and health. It has played a key role in major national projects, such as the Wukong satellite (China’s first dark matter particle explorer), Micius mission (the world’s first quantum science experimental satellite), and Zuchongzhi (a 62-qubit programmable superconducting quantum computing prototype).

Top Education

USTC is regarded as the "Cradle of Scientific Elites" in China. Its educational principle emphasizes fundamental theories and provides students with a wide range of high-level training that incorporates emerging as well as interdisciplinary fields of study.
