Latest ShanghaiRanking Released! Shenzhen University’s Information and Communication Engineering Discipline Ranks in the Top 12% Nationwide

ShanghaiRanking has released the latest “Best Chinese Disciplines Ranking.” Among one hundred and more universities evaluated in the field of Information and Communication Engineering, Shenzhen University (SZU) proudly secured a position within the top 12% nationwide.

The Information and Communication Engineering discipline, established in 2006 as one of Shenzhen University’s first three doctoral programs, is recognized as a Peak Key Discipline of Guangdong Province (the highest provincial tier), a Priority Discipline under Guangdong’s High-Level University Development Initiative (first cohort), and a Key Discipline in Guangdong’s “Rushing Top, Addressing Weaknesses, and Reinforcing Strengths” program (rated A+ in the mid-term assessment). It has supported both Computer Science and Engineering Disciplines at Shenzhen University in entering the top 0.1% globally in the ESI rankings (ranking second university-wide in institutional contribution to both fields).

Housed in the College of Electronics and Information Engineering, the discipline is supported by 157 full-time faculty members, 98% of whom hold doctoral degrees. The full-time faculty includes one Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, one Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, two IEEE Fellows, and 21 national-level talents. In recent years, scholars in this discipline have achieved a cumulative 70 appearances on the global Top 2% Scientists list created by Stanford University and Elsevier, including 33 appearances simultaneously on the career-long and single-year impact lists.

Anchored in the needs of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the nation’s demand for electronic information talent and key technologies, the discipline has established a suite of distinctive, cutting-edge laboratories spanning integrated circuit design, intelligent information processing, artificial intelligence, and mobile communications. The college leads the National Key Laboratory of Radio Frequency Heterogeneous Integration and hosts 10 provincial key laboratories (engineering technology research centers), including the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Intelligent Information Processing, the Guangdong Intelligent Low-Altitude Perception Laboratory, the Guangdong Digital Creative Technology Engineering Laboratory, and the Guangdong Base Station Antenna and Electromagnetic Wave Engineering Technology Research Center, as well as nine Shenzhen municipal key laboratories.

Looking ahead, the discipline will align closely with Shenzhen University’s strategic goal of “accelerating the development of a world-class university”. It will leverage its regional advantages and disciplinary strengths to actively seek inclusion in the next round of the national “Double First-Class” initiative; further elevate the level of scientific research to generate more influential flagship outcomes; cultivate new quality productive forces and serve the economic development of Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area with greater intensity; strengthen talent recruitment and development to build a more competitive, first-rate faculty; and remain committed to fostering virtue through education. The discipline is dedicated to cultivating high-level, top-tier innovative talents with a strong sense of national responsibility, a broad international outlook, outstanding creativity, and solid professional competence, thereby providing robust talent support and intellectual assurance for advancing new quality productive forces and contributing to the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
