Research at GST
The main objectives of the Graduate School are to serve the development of the regional and national economies and contribute to
Tsinghua's endeavour to become a world-class university. The
Graduate School aims to achieve academic prominence in research
and teaching by transplanting key disciplines from the main campus to
Shenzhen, developing new disciplines with local characteristics, and
promoting interdisciplinary collaborations.
Research in the Graduate School covers various areas with science
and technology as its main focus. The Graduate School consists of five
divisions-Information Science and Technology, Engineering, Logistics
and Management, Science and Liberal Arts, and Life Science.
The Graduate School has established many institutes and laboratories,
including the Shenzhen branches of four state level research entities, a
Guangdong province key laboratory, and six Shenzhen key
laboratories. There are also six joint laboratories with overseas universities
and a number of joint entities with enterprises. With special
financial support from the Shenzhen government, the Graduate School
has been setting up three large laboratories aiming at the national key
laboratory standard in information science and technology, cleaner
production, and health science and technology.
As the sole branch campus of Tsinghua, the Graduate School has
established its academic structure based on the competitive research
areas at the main campus and from the needs of the fast growing local
economy. The Graduate School is determined to utilise local characteristics
to make logistics and marine science its outstanding
disciplines, and facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations to build up
comprehensive strength in dedicated areas such as cleaner
production, new medicine, multimedia, and clinical medical devices.
