This year's online enrollment registration ends at the end of the month
At this open day, Tan Jianwei, director of the Admissions Office, deeply interpreted the enrollment policies of South China University of Science and Technology in 2021 and the enrollment situation in Guangdong, and answered questions related to online and offline candidates and parents in real time.
Since 2012, South China University of Science and Technology has pioneered the "6+3+1" enrollment model in the country, that is, to admit outstanding students based on comprehensive scores that account for 60% of the college entrance examination scores, 30% of the ability test scores organized by the school, and 10% of the high school academic scores. South China University of Science and Technology will continue to adopt this model this year to select outstanding science students with discipline expertise and innovation potential. Online registration for South China University of Science and Technology this year's enrollment will end on April 30, and the ability test will be held after the college entrance examination in mid-June.
In 2020, the average score of the college entrance examination admitted by South China University of Science and Technology in various provinces exceeded the first-tier score line by 129 points. The college entrance examination results of freshmen in most provinces rank among the top 1.8% of science in the province. In 2020, more than 65% of undergraduate graduates from South China University of Science and Technology went to prestigious universities at home and abroad to further study, and the rest were employed in Shenzhen and other places, with an employment rate of more than 98%. Among the undergraduate graduates who chose to continue their studies, the proportion of direct applicants was nearly 24%.
Two academician popular science lectures were held
