The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences is an important bearer of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ “first to build a national highland for innovative talents” mission, and an important support for fulfilling the strategic mission of “outcomes, talents, and ideas.” The core mission of the school is to use the science-education integration platform to select the best education and teaching resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, provide it to graduate students and undergraduates, cultivate scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurial talents with both merits and talents, serve the country’s innovation-driven development, and serve the human civilization. make a contribution. As of December 2018, the National University of Science and Technology has awarded a total of 160,614 postgraduate master’s and doctoral degrees, of which 77,853 have been awarded doctoral degrees; for the first time, 290 undergraduate graduates have been awarded. The National University of Science and Technology has trained about a quarter of the “Outstanding Youth Fund Winners”. Since its establishment in 1978, 108 students have been elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences insists on cultivating innovative and entrepreneurial talents in high-level scientific research practices. Graduate students have become the new force of national scientific and technological innovation. The major achievements and outputs of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have their contributions and contributions. 23 national major science and technology infrastructures, one national laboratory, two national research centers, 77 national key laboratories, 189 Chinese Academy of Sciences key laboratories, 9 national engineering research centers, and 17 The National Engineering Technology Research Center, 15 national engineering laboratories, and many state-level cutting-edge scientific research projects provide a world-class scientific research and innovation platform for student training.
The university has abundant literature resources and modern teaching conditions. The National University of Science and Technology shares the resources of the Literature and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with rich collection resources and electronic documents. Students can consult various professional documents in the libraries of the various branches and institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the libraries of Yanqi Lake Campus and Yuquan Road Campus of the National University of Science .
The university has excellent teaching facilities, and comprehensively applies modern teaching methods such as multimedia and online video education.
