Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) was founded by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a great national hero, patriot, and pioneer of the Chinese democratic revolution. As one of the major sites for the dissemination of Marxism in China, SYSU carries forward a legacy of revolutionary traditions and pursuit of excellence. Originally named Guangdong University, it was renamed Sun Yat-sen University in 1926 in honor of Dr. Sun’s contributions to the nation.

Today, SYSU has grown into a modern, comprehensive university with a focus on research, openness, and diversity. Following institutional restructuring in 1952 and the reintegration of the Sun Yat-sen Medical University in 2001, SYSU now ranks among the leading international universities in China. With campuses in Guangzhou, Zhuhai, and Shenzhen, the university integrates its unique strengths across disciplines to support regional and national development.

In 2024, SYSU celebrates its 100th anniversary, marking a century of excellence in education, research, and societal impact. Looking to the future, the university remains committed to building a world-class institution rooted in the Greater Bay Area, fostering global engagement, and contributing to the advancement of human civilization.
