Located in the city of Guangzhou, a thriving metropolis in South China, it today covers a total area of 405 hectares, consisting of three campuses: the Wushan Campus, the University Town Campus, and the Guangzhou International Campus.\u00a0The university was formerly known as the South China Institute of Technology, which was first founded in 1952 by merging the engineering schools and departments of a number of major universities and polytechnic universities from five provinces in central and Southern China. After over 60 years of development, SCUT has become a multi-disciplinary university,\u00a0merging science, engineering, business management, arts and social science, medicine and other disciplines into one integration. Since its founding, it has educated over 380,000 graduates at all levels.\u00a0In 2016, SCUT was ranked the world\u2019s top 300 universities by the Academic Ranking of World Universities, with its engineering placed at the 22nd place. According to Thomson Reuters\u2019 Essential Science Indicators, SCUT has chemistry, materials science, engineering, agricultural science, physics, biology and biochemistry, computer science, and environment and ecology ranked in the global top 1%.\u00a0SCUT has established connections and partnerships with over 50 overseas universities to promote student training and scientific research. Considering the importance of people as the fundamental element of education, the university always sees \u201cthe academy as the foundation, talented ones as the strength, open minds as the vitality, and the culture of the university as the energy to thrive and last\u201d.

The School of Food Science and Engineering (SFSE)was established newly in November 2015 through the reorganization of the School of Light Industry and Food Science, however, its history can be dated back to 1952, the beginning of the University. The first degree program of the School, Sugar and Food Engineering, was started to run at that time. Currently, the school has two undergraduate programs as well as Food Science and Engineering, and Food Quality and Safety, and two postdoctoral programs, Food Science and Engineering and Light Industrial Technology and Engineering.\u00a0 A national evaluation of key discipline carried out in 2012 showed that the Food Science and Engineering in the School were ranking No.3 among Chinese universities.<\/p>\n

The School of Food Science and Engineering<\/strong>\u00a0is one of the most important units in the University featuring high level innovative scientific research. The School has a national engineering research center (Wheat and Corn Processing Lab), a national innovation and technology platform (Starch and Plant Proteins Research Center) and several provincial\/ministry scientific research institutes, such as Guangdong Key Laboratory for Green Processing and Safety of Natural Products, Guangdong Technical Center for Food Processing and Nutrition, Guangdong Lipid Science and Applied Technology Center, Guangdong International Collaborate Center for Sugar Green Processing, etc.<\/p>\n

The School takes the student education as the primary task and provides perfect environment for personal development of every student. Now, in total of 1234 students, including 521 undergraduates and\u00a0713 graduates are studying in the school. The School has extensive communication and cooperation with many top-level oversea universities and research institutes such as Cornel University, Queensland University, Rutgers University and Kyoto University. Nearly one hundred scientists, faculties and students were actively involved in the international communication and cooperation through lecture, seminar, conference, or being visiting scholars and exchange students.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Guangzhou<\/strong>\u00a0also known as\u00a0Canton,\u00a0is the\u00a0capital\u00a0and most populous city of the\u00a0province\u00a0of\u00a0Guangdong.Located in\u00a0southern China\u00a0on the\u00a0Pearl River\u00a0about 120\u00a0km (75\u00a0mi) north-northwest of\u00a0Hong Kong\u00a0and 145\u00a0km (90\u00a0mi) north of\u00a0Macau, Guangzhou has a history of over 2,200 years and was a major terminus of the maritime\u00a0Silk Roadand continues to serve as a major\u00a0port\u00a0and transportation hub today, as well as one of China’s three largest cities.<\/p>\n

Guangzhou is situated at the heart of the\u00a0most-populous built-up metropolitan area\u00a0in\u00a0mainland China, an area that extends into the neighboring cities of\u00a0Foshan,\u00a0Dongguan,\u00a0Zhongshan\u00a0and\u00a0Shenzhen, forming one of the largest\u00a0urban agglomerations\u00a0on the planet. Administratively, the city holds\u00a0sub-provincial\u00a0status;and is one of China’s five\u00a0National Central Cities.\u00a0In 2015 the city’s administrative area was estimated to have a population of 13,501,100.Guangzhou is ranked as an Alpha-\u00a0Global city.\u00a0In recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing number of foreign residents and immigrants from\u00a0Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and especially\u00a0from Africa.\u00a0This has led to it being dubbed the “Capital of the Third World”.The migrant population from other provinces of China in Guangzhou was 40 percent of the city’s total population in 2008. Together with\u00a0Shanghai,\u00a0Beijing\u00a0and\u00a0Shenzhen, Guangzhou has one of the most expensive real estate markets in China.<\/p>\n

Guangzhou has a comparatively recent history of two centuries related to its importance for foreign trade. Long the only Chinese port accessible to most foreign traders, the city fell to the British during the\u00a0First Opium War. No longer enjoying a monopoly after the war, it lost trade to other ports such as\u00a0Hong Kong\u00a0(which is close by) and\u00a0Shanghai, but continued to serve as a major\u00a0entrepot. In modern commerce, Guangzhou is best known for its annual\u00a0Canton Fair, the oldest and largest\u00a0trade fair\u00a0in China. For the three consecutive years 2013\u20132015, Forbes ranked Guangzhou as the best commercial city on the Chinese mainland.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
