Shenzhen explores advantages of application-oriented higher education

Most of the top universities in China emphasize research achievements, but a university in Shenzhen is about to break with tradition.

Aiming to explore application-oriented higher education, the city government initiated Shenzhen Technology University in 2016 and it was officially approved by the Ministry of Education in 2018.

From preparation to formal establishment, it took less than three years, reflecting the urgent need for highly skilled talents in the manufacturing hub.
