The USTC Graduate School, being the very first
graduate school in China, was founded in the University
of Science and Technology of China in 1964. In 1978, the
USTC Graduate School again pioneered in the country to
resume postgraduate education. Master of Science
degrees in China were granted to 102 graduates in the first
group in 1981, and Doctors of Philosophy were granted to
6 people in the first group in 1982. Now the USTC
Graduate School has titles for master of science and
engineering in 46 areas, and for Doctorate in 24 areas. 7
post doctoral stations covering 17 areas have been
established here by the State Commission of Education. 3
training bases for talents in science are named. 109
professors are Ph.D advisors. So far, degrees have been
conferred to 226 Ph.D students and 2,476 M.S. and M. A.
students.
By now, 4 academic groups have been selected as
national key disciplines, namely: fundamental
mathematics, computation mathematics, condensed state
physics, and solid state mechanics. 10 groups have been
selected as Chinese Academy key disciplines, namely:
probability and statistics, theoretical physics, nuclear
physics, accelerator physics and application, astrophysics,
chemical physics, molecular biology and bio-physics,
fluid mechanics, engineering thermo-physics,
electromagnetic field and microwave technology. With
strong support from the university, these areas will be
further developed aiming at higher international academic
reputations.
The Graduate School enrolls students from all over the
country through the national graduate entrance
examination. Its annual enrollment is 160 doctoral
candidates and 330 for master of science and engineering.
In addition, it takes 350 students per year through
contracts with host institutions or by special arrangement.
