GUANGZHOU, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) — The opening ceremony of Greater Bay Area University (GBU) was held in southern China on Saturday.
Located in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, southern China, the university has two campuses covering a total area of approximately 2,000 mu (approximately 133.3 hectares). It will initially offer five undergraduate programs: mathematics and applied mathematics, physics, materials science and engineering, computer science and technology, and industrial engineering.
As a public institution of higher education established by the Guangdong Provincial People's Government and supported by the Dongguan Municipal People's Government, UBZ received approval from the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China in June of this year. Eighty freshmen began their first semester in August.
UBZ's founding rector and Chinese Academy of Sciences academician Tian Gang said at the opening ceremony on Saturday that the university aims to "provide highly qualified talents to accelerate the development of new-quality productive forces in Dongguan and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and promote scientific and technological innovation and the development of emerging industries there."
He noted that UBZ will collaborate with numerous universities, research institutes, and leading enterprises to jointly train master's students.
In 2024, the GRP of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area reached 14.79 trillion yuan (about 2.1 trillion US dollars), surpassing that of New York and the San Francisco Bay Area. -0-
