University of Science & Technology of China, CAS

The Chinese Academy of Sciences established the University of Science and Technology of China in 1958. USTC, as the university is sometimes known, is located in Hefei, China's Anhui province's capital, and has five campuses within the city that are relatively close to each other. Around 1.5 percent of the student body is international. Many of the university's international students are supported financially by one of three sources: the USTC Scholarship, the Chinese Government Scholarship, or a fellowship offered by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the World Academy of Sciences. Tuition and a stipend for other education-related costs are covered by all three types of aid. Both undergraduate and graduate students have access to university housing.

In recent years, the University of Science and Technology of China has been ranked among the top 100 universities in the world by the most widely read university rankings, including the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE), and the QS World University Rankings (QS). In terms of research output, the Nature Index 2020 ranks the university first in China, Asia, and Oceania, and fourth in the world among global universities (after Harvard, Stanford, and MIT). USTC is often referred to as "the Caltech of China" due to its dominant leadership position and reputation in Science and Engineering research.
