Guangzhou Nanfang College

Nanfang College, Guangzhou (formerly known as Sun Yat-sen University Nanfang College) is a comprehensive, application-oriented university established in 2006 with the approval of the Ministry of Education. It has also been approved as a Guangdong Province Doctoral Workstation, a supporting unit for National Social Science Fund projects and National Natural Science Fund projects—in short, a pilot institution for comprehensive reform of the higher education system in Guangdong Province. Notably, it is  one of the first pilot universities in Guangdong Province for the transformation of general undergraduate colleges.

The college offers 45 undergraduate programs across 11 faculties, creating a well-structured and complementary disciplinary system focused on management, literature, and engineering, while also promoting the coordinated development of economics, medicine, and arts. In 2021, the college was among the first batch of private colleges in Guangdong Province authorized to grant master’s degrees, and in 2022, it was approved to  cultivate full-time professional master’s degree students in partnership with Guangzhou University.

The college places a high emphasis on faculty development, continuously strengthening talent recruitment and cultivation through three plans: global recruitment Plan  for PhDs, industry talent introduction Plan, and the Young and Middle-aged Backbone Teacher Excellence Plan. This has resulted in a diverse and highly qualified faculty team, primarily composed of full-time young and middle-aged teachers.
