China’s Ministry of Education (The Ministry) has officially approved the SUSTech School of Microelectronics as a National Exemplary School of Microelectronics. It is a significant achievement of Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) that accelerates its development.

This announcement reflects SUSTech’s advantages in professional and talent training in microelectronics. The development of the National Exemplary School of Microelectronics aims to meet the urgent needs of high-quality talents for the integrated circuit industry.

The Preparatory Office of SUSTech School of Microelectronics was established on June 1st 2018. The School has been strongly supported by the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Education, Shenzhen Bureau of Education and SUSTech Board of Trustees.

Under the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Strategic Plan, the School is an innovative institution. It was co-founded by SUSTech and world-renowned universities Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University and Macao University.

The Ministry has urged that SUSTech should aim at the national and regional strategic needs in order to seize the historical opportunities of the Greater Bay Area. The School should also take advantage of Hong Kong’s unique advantages. It will also actively explore cooperative education models for industrialization, teaching, and research.

Such an approach should improve the microelectronics and integrated circuit industry talent training systems. These training systems aim to boost the chip industry in China and make great contributions to regional industry development.

The School of Microelectronics will serve the development of the microelectronics industry in the Greater Bay Area. It also seeks to promote the development of a new generation of information technology in fields such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, and 5G mobile communications.

Rooted in the Greater Bay, the School will seize the opportunity to be approved by the National Exemplary School of Microelectronics. It will compete as a world-class School of Microelectronics that serves the local economy and the development of the integrated circuit industry.

It aims to carry out in-depth industry-university-research and explore a diversified talent training model. The cultivation of top-notch talents with a strong, innovative ability will satisfy the urgent needs in the industry. These talents will serve the development needs of the national microelectronics industry. The School will ultimately develop a high-level international research model. As a National Exemplary School of Microelectronics, the School will make great contributions to the innovative development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and even the country.
