To help potential students and parents find out more about the university, GTIIT held a virtual open day on July 18th. The event, which lasted for nearly 7 hours, provided the audience a more diversified image of the university through introduction of teaching features, scientific research achievements, and program setting.
The event is full of substantial contents. General concerned topics such as university features, faculty team, scientific research and development, curriculum arrangements, talent cultivation, and career prospects have been introduced in detail. Online teaching lab and research lab tours were also arranged so that the audience can see a full range of cutting-edge lab equipment without leaving home.

A special guest was also invited to share information about the college entrance examination application and give tips for the audience. During the Q & A session, potential students and parents asked questions online actively.
Highlights of the Open Day
Approved by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, the Guangdong Technion Israel Institute of Technology opens a program —— Mathematics with Computer Science, which will enroll students from 2020.
In total, undergraduate programs open in 2020 are Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology and Food Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Mathematics with Computer Science.
The Mathematics with Computer Science program follows the disciplinary tradition of the Technion. In line with the rationale of "high-level computer science problems are based on deep mathematical knowledge", courses related to mathematics and computer science are integrated to generate interdisciplinary education advantages and cultivate advanced compound talents with adaptability and flexibility. The curriculum covers core courses of Mathematics programs and compulsory courses of Computer Science programs offered by world-renowned universities, focusing on fundamentals, compatibility and scalability of the knowledge structure. Teaching processes will strengthen the unique mathematics thinking training of the Technion by guiding students to constantly ask and reflect on scientific problems, thus effectively absorbing and digesting the knowledge learned. Graduates of this program will possess a solid foundation in both mathematics and computer science, and at the same time master the principles and applications of symbiosis and co-prosperity in the artificial intelligence environment. As a result, students will be able to develop the ability to mine and solve cutting-edge scientific problems and industrial innovation problems.
The four-year program consists of a large number of deep and rigorous courses in Math which cover the main areas of mathematics as algebra, analysis, geometry, topology, combinatorics and number theory and the main courses in a strong computer science program as courses in data structures, operating systems, programing and computer organization together with more advanced courses.
Graduates of this program will be ready to pursue graduate studies in Mathematics or Computer Science. According to the experience of the Technion, students with a solid mathematical foundation and thorough knowledge of computer science will be more welcomed by the field of computer science. In addition to postgraduate studies, the employment prospects of this program are also very broad. Graduates will have unique knowledge and capability advantages in industrial innovations led by mathematics and computer science, such as machine learning, neural networks, big data, cognitive systems, genetic algorithms, etc.
In 2020, the four programs currently offered by Guangdong Technion Israel Institute of Technology will enroll 410 students in total: 110 students for Materials Science and Engineering, 85 students for Chemical Engineering, 85 students for Biotechnology and Food Engineering, and 130 students for Mathematics with Computer Science. Besides the regular sources of our students from 17 provinces (cities) including Guangdong, Tianjin, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shanxi, Shaanxi, GTIIT will start to recruit students from Fujian, Anhui, and Guangxi in 2020.
Candidates must meet the entry requirements of the program they apply:
Materials Science and Engineering,Chemical Engineering,Biotechnology and Food Engineering
(1) The score of the foreign language in Gaokao should not be less than 110 points (out of 150 points) or 88 points (out of 120 points), and
(2) The mathematics score in Gaokao should not be less than 95 points (for Jiangsu candidates, mathematics score should be at least 125 points or above including additional points).
Mathematics with Computer Science
(1) The score of the foreign language in Gaokao should not be less than 110 points (out of 150 points) or 88 points (out of 120 points), and
(2) The mathematics score in Gaokao should not be less than 110 points (for Jiangsu candidates, mathematics score should be at least 145 points or above including additional points).
4、Increase the amount of scholarship
In 2020, GTIIT has increased the amount of the second and third prizes for both the Chancellor's Scholarship Policy and the Academic Excellence Scholarship Policy, aiming at rewarding students with excellent GAOKAO performance and those maintain good academic performance in the academic years.
GTIIT is now officially included in the Technion's exchange agreements. This means that students at GTIIT will also have the opportunity to take one or more semesters abroad at a Technion partner university, where the curriculum could be recognized as part of their degree at GTIIT and the Technion. This enables students to expand their horizons and academic experience.
Currently, GTIIT aims to facilitate student exchanges with more than 100 world-renowned universities. They are Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University, McGill University, University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, Berlin University of Technology, Munich University of Technology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, University of Melbourne, Monash University, National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and so on.
