SCUT is a comprehensive research university with particular strengths in engineering, sciences, medicine, business, economics, humanities, law and other disciplines.

On March 15, 2017, the agreement of the construction of SCUT- GZIC was signed by four parties: the MOE of the People’s Republic of China, Guangdong provincial government, Guangzhou municipal government and SCUT.

Guangzhou International Campus(GZIC) is the first campus jointly built by MoE, the local province government, the municipal government and university itself. The campus aims to drive innovation and serve the country through education and research activities, as well as contribute to the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Located on the south bank of Guangzhou International Innovation City, GZIC covers an area of 110 hectares. The first-phase campus has already opened in September 2019, and the remainder of the campus is marked for completion by the end of 2021. The total investment of the campus is estimated to exceed 20 billion RMB. Upon completion, the campus will enroll about 12,000 students and employ 1,600 staff.
In line with SCUT’s strength in engineering, the Guangzhou International Campus will focus on disciplines such as intelligent manufacturing, biological medicine, advanced materials, microelectronics, data science, AI and other emerging engineering and interdisciplinary fields.

Ten new engineering schools and a host of cross disciplinary research institutes will be setup on campus. So far, six schools and one institute have been established: the Shien-Ming Wu School of Intelligent Engineering, the School of Biomedical Sciences and Engineering, the School of Microelectronics，the School of Molecular Science and Engineering, the School of Future Technology, the School of Marine Science and Engineering and the Spin-X Institute.

The schools in GZIC offer undergraduate, master, and doctoral programs. Enrollment for graduate students started in September 2018, while undergraduate enrollment began in September 2019 in the fields of biomedical engineering, robotics engineering, intelligent manufacturing engineering, molecular science and engineering, microelectronics science and engineering, integrated circuit design and integrated system, artificial intelligence, and data science and big data technology.
