The Institution of Science and Technology of China (USTC), a public research university in Hefei, Anhui, China, is directed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). It is a member of the C9 League, which is the most prestigious league in the world. It is also a Chinese state university with a Class A Double First Class status. The CAS was created in Beijing in September 1958 and transferred to Hefei during the Cultural Revolution in the early 1970s. The United States Technology Council was established with the goal of solving pressing needs in China's economy, defense infrastructure, and science and technology education. Its primary strength is scientific and technical research, although it has lately expanded into the humanities and management, with a strong scientific and engineering focus. USTC has 12 schools and 30 departments, including a Special Class for the Gifted Young, an Experimental Class for Teaching Reform, Graduate Schools (Hefei, Shanghai, Suzhou), a Software School, a School of Network Education, and a School of Continuing Education. The Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese University of Science and Technology was established in 2012. In the last several years,In the most widely read university rankings in the world, such as the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE), and the QS World University Rankings, China's University of Science and Technology is ranked among the top 100 universities in the world (QS). In terms of research output, the institution is ranked No. According to the Nature Index 2020, China, Asia, and Oceania are ranked No. 1 and No. 4 globally among universities.. (after Harvard, Stanford, and MIT). USTC is sometimes referred to as "China's Caltech" due to its overwhelming leading position and reputation in Science and Engineering research.

USTC History

It was founded in 1958 in Beijing by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) as a strategic move by the Chinese government to address China's scientific and technology demands while also increasing the country's international competitiveness. With the goal of teaching elite talent in cutting-edge, multidisciplinary science and technology, CAS combined its resources with USTC.

University of Science and Technology of China Campus

East, South, West, North, and Center Campuses are the five campuses. The campuses span 1.46 million square meters (360 acres), with a total building area of 890,000 square metres (9,600,000 sq ft). The library includes 1.73 million volumes, 3000 types of Chinese journals, 4000 types of English journals, 600,000 electronic books, and 20,000 electronic journals in Chinese and English. Within the campus, there is a world-class computer network. The Center of Physical Science, Life Science, Information Science, Engineering and Material Science, and Application of Synchrotron Radiation are among the five public experimental centers for teaching and research now under development.

Campus Hospital

The school hospital is a separate entity inside the university with the mission of providing illness prevention, health care, treatment, and health education to both faculty and students. After more than four decades of planning and building, the hospital has progressively expanded, the quality of care has increased, and the equipment has been renovated. The hospital has a total area of 5,200 m2, 110 beds, and about 110 personnel.The hospital is dedicated to providing treatment and health care to approximately 10,000 students, 3,000 professors, and more than 700 retired staff, as well as the families of employees who reside on campus, totaling more than 20,000 people. On the west and south campuses, respectively, a branch hospital and an outpatient department have been created as well as facilities for students' living and studying activities. For the people's convenience, medical staff are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.In addition to daily diagnosis and treatment, the school hospital also provides physical examination services under the preventative concept, in accordance with college hygiene rules. Students are already required to undergo physical tests following their admission and before graduation, as well as another check throughout their college years. School staff and those who have retired are subjected to physical tests every two years.
