About Chengdu
Chengdu, located in southwest People's Republic of China, is the capital of Sichuan province. It is one of the most important economic centers, transportation and communication hubs in Southwestern China. More than four thousand years ago, the prehistoric Bronze Age culture of Jinsha established itself in this region. The fertile Chengdu Plain, on which Chengdu is located, is called Tianfuzhiguo in Chinese, which literally means ‘the country of heaven ’, or more often seen translated as "the Land of Abundance". It was recently named China’s 4th-most livable city by China Daily.

About Hainan
Hainan Province is an island province and tropical paradise, located at the southernmost tip of China. In 2022, UESTC and The University of Glasgow commenced delivery of degrees on the Lingshui Li ’an campus, near Sanya. A number of other Sino-foreign university partnerships, including Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications/Queen Mary University of London, operate alongside our own, where we benefit from a shared service model. With just over 400 students at present, we have ambitious plans for the future and hope that in steady state, our undergraduate student numbers might be similar to those in Chengdu (c. 2.5K). There is also potential for us to offer Masters degrees and, in time, a dual PhD programme, subject to government approvals.
