“Deans of five different schools”& “One-Hundred Talents” Chair Professors &“One-Hundred Young Talents” Associate Professors

 

Guangdong University of Technology, located in Guangzhou, a beautiful city in southern China, is a key multi-disciplinary university of Guangdong Province with a history of over 50 years. With the advantage of bordering on Hong Kong and the benefits of Guangdong’s prosperous economic development, the university’s research and competitive power has been remarkably improved in recent years and the University has become a key educational and research institution in Guangdong province in Southern China.

 

The University comprises 19 faculties and schools, offering 68 bachelor's programs. It has a full-time student population of over 47, 000, offering diverse courses in its 19 PhD programs, 61 master's programs, and 5 Post-doctoral programs. The university has recruited about 50 chair professors and 2 deans since the introduction of the “One Hundred Talents” and “School deans” Programs in 2011. Benefiting from the economic and manufacturing power of Guangdong Province, the University interacts actively with governments, enterprises and markets to attract talents with innovative mechanisms, to retain talent with special talents recruiting policies and great sincerity. The uniqueness of the University’s talent recruiting and retaining program is its close collaboration with industry to lead talents towards market so that they can create market value while fulfilling academic value at the same time. Until now, there are 6 newly hired chair professors of the University selected as members of the renowned national “one-thousand talents” program, 4 as the provincial “leading talents” and two of the research teams established by the introduced chair professors have been chosen as the provincial “innovation teams”.
