3. Features of joint training project

a. Cultivation method

The 2023 Cohort of jointly trained students will be trained at SUSTech in the first semester and at GTIIT in the subsequent semesters. The jointly trained graduate students belong to SUSTech, and students will pay tuition fees to SUSTech according to the policy pertaining to master students in SUSTech. The regulations of student status mangaement, cultivation requirements and degree conferment are carried out according to the requirements of SUSTech and GTIIT. Those who meet the graduation conditions and degree conferment conditions of SUSTech and GTIIT will be awarded the academic degree certificate of SUSTech and optionally also of the Technion. 

b. Student management

Students are managed by SUSTech while they are at SUSTech, the ideological education, study and research, daily management, scholarship and accommodation of graduate students should be managed by GTIIT during their training at GTIIT. GTIIT provides students with generous scholarships. Generally, the amount of scholarships and bursaries will not be lower than the standards for equivalent students of SUSTech. Joint training students can’t be transferred to doctoral degree in SUSTech during the training period, but can apply for doctoral study track in both universities according to the requirements.

c. Dual supervisor

A dual-supervisor system is adopted for jointly trained graduate students, with one advisor at SUSTech and one advisor at GTIIT, guiding the students' study and research work. Candidates can visit the below links to learn about the research direction and supervisors in advance.

5. Background of Joint Training

GTIIT

The Guangdong Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT), located in the city of Shantou, Guangdong province, is a Sino-foreign cooperative research and education institute established by Guangdong Province, Shantou University (STU) and the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (the Technion). The Ministry of Education approved GTIIT's formal establishment on December 5, 2016.

GTIIT welcomed its first undergraduate cohort in 2017. The cohort completed its education in 2021, receiving both GTIIT and Technion’s diplomas. Over 80% of the cohort’s graduate students were accepted to continue their graduate studies in the top 100 leading universities world-wide, including the Technion. 

GTIIT is the first Sino-foreign cooperative research university and the first to introduce Israel's high-quality, higher education resources to China. Its academic program is strictly based on the Technion program, representing genuine cooperation between China and Israel in the field of research and education.

GTIIT is following the spirit of the Technion, by adopting its teaching, research and innovation modes. The Technion, located in Haifa, Israel is the oldest academic institute in Israel and a leading national and international research university. Indeed, during the last century, the Technion was the locomotive of the Israeli economy and the nation buildup. From water and irrigation dripping inventions that led to the desert blooming, all the way to being a start-up nation, worldwide recognized in innovation, entrepreneurship, technology and basic scientific achievements. The Technion faculty and alumni are internationally known for their achievements including 4 scientists who are Nobel prize laurates.

Like the Technion, the vision of GTIIT is to become a world-class international research and engineering university, conducting cutting-edge research in the fields of science and technology. This research will boost entrepreneurship and technology transfer, and foster a high-tech industrial ecosystem in Shantou, Guangdong Province and in Chinese mainland.
