Shantou University Wikipedia

Shantou University was authorized and established in 1981 by State Council and Guangdong Province. Mr. Li Ka Shing contributed 2 billion HK dollars to the founding of the school. It is located on the seashore in the northern area of the city of Shantou. The area is 1.26 square kilometers, and there are 455,500 square meters of floorspace. The campus is situated at the foot of a hill and beside a stream.

Over the past four years, Shantou University has implemented a series of reforms from modernizing the facilities on campus to switching to a course credit system. The English Language Center under the leadership of Director Dr. Jun Liu and University Vice-Chancellor Julia Hsiao has been a focal point of the University's push for its students to become "global citizens."

The recently completed Academic Conference Center has provided the University with a place to play host to world's academic resources while a new library set to open in 2007 will pave the way for the greater self-education and research.
