The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, referred to as "UCAS", is an innovative university with the integration of science and education as its school-running model, graduate education as its main body, and elite undergraduate education as its school-running feature. The graduate education of UCAS originated from the talent training of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1950, the Chinese Academy of Sciences launched the recruitment and training of research interns. In June 1951, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Education jointly issued the "Regulations on the Recruitment of Research Interns and Graduate Students in the Research Institutions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Research Departments of Universities under the Ministry of Education in the Summer of 1951". In August 1955, the "Provisional Regulations on Graduate Students of the Chinese Academy of Sciences" was issued and implemented after being signed by Premier Zhou Enlai. In September 1964, the Chinese Academy of Sciences tried to run the "Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences" in Beijing. In 1977, the Chinese Academy of Sciences took the lead in resuming graduate student enrollment. In order to meet the needs of various research institutes to recruit and train graduate students, the Graduate School of the University of Science and Technology of China was established in Beijing. In 1978, the first batch of graduate students after the resumption of enrollment enrolled. In 1982, the Party Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences approved the use of the two names of "Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences" and "Graduate School of the University of Science and Technology of China" by the Graduate School. In December 2000, the school was renamed the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2005, the Management Cadre College of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was merged into the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In June 2012, the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was renamed the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and began to recruit undergraduate students in 2014, forming a higher education system covering undergraduate, master and doctoral levels. As of December 31, 2023, there are 13,186 postgraduate supervisors in various training units, including 8,482 doctoral supervisors, 239 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and 39 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. As of December 2022, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences has 1,660 undergraduate students and 59,985 graduate students, of which nearly 50 are doctoral students.3%; there are 1,957 foreign students, including 1,292 foreign doctoral students, and the number of foreign doctoral students is among the top universities in China. The University of Science and Technology of China takes "integration of science and education, education-oriented, collaborative innovation, and serving the country" as its school-running philosophy, and is highly integrated with the research institutions directly under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (including institutes, academies, stations, centers, etc., hereinafter referred to as "training units") in terms of management system, faculty team, training system, and scientific research work. The school consists of four campuses in Beijing (Yuquan Road, Zhongguancun, Olympic Village, Yanqi Lake), five education bases outside Beijing (Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Lanzhou) and 113 training units distributed across the country. In recent years, the University of Science and Technology of China has continuously deepened the reform of the system and mechanism of integration of science and education and organizational construction, and "co-built, co-governed, shared, and won together" with various training units. As of December 2022, the school has a total of 75 directly affiliated teaching and research units, including 46 colleges and departments, and 29 other types of scientific and educational institutions.
