University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
The University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS; ) is a public university headquartered in Shijingshan, Beijing, China. It is affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The university is part of the Double First-Class Construction. Officially established in 2012, the university derives from the Graduate School of the University of Science and Technology of China founded in 1978.The University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences operates its undergraduate and graduate programs on the university's Beijing campus. Moreover, the Chinese Academy of Sciences assigns the authority of filing student status and issuing graduate degree for its affiliated institutes to the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and UCAS, and determines which university is responsible for which institute. Graduate students at most of CAS research institutes are assigned to have their student status registered at UCAS and are awarded UCAS degrees upon graduation. A small number of selected research institutes are assigned to have their graduate students register with USTC and awarded USTC degrees upon graduation. Students at CAS research institutes do not need to be physically present at the degree-issuing universities' campus to be awarded the degrees. UCAS mandates that graduate students at CAS institutes for which UCAS is responsible for issuing degrees must list their affiliation as "University of Chinese Academy of Sciences" in all their published work; failure to comply will result in their graduate degree applications not being considered.
UCAS also has colleges and schools nationwide co-existed and co-located with the CAS institutes, usually by adding extra nameplates to the institutes.
Established in 1978 as the Graduate School of the University of Science and Technology of China, the institution is the first graduate school in China. It produced the first doctoral graduate in science, the first doctoral graduate in engineering, the first female doctoral graduate, and the first graduate with dual doctorate in China. The USTC Graduate School (Beijing) was renamed as the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2000, and became an independent legal entity as the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2012. In 2014, UCAS began to recruit undergraduate students. Provided by Wikipedia
