📖 About the university

Tianping College of Suzhou University of Science and Technology is a private undergraduate independent college in Suzhou, a historic canal city in Jiangsu Province celebrated for its classical gardens and, today, its high-technology industry. The college was planned from 1999, began enrolling students in 2000, and was reorganised as an independent college in 2005; it is located within Suzhou's national high-technology industrial development zone in the west of the ancient city. It occupies an independent campus of around 89 hectares and is organised into eight teaching units offering roughly thirty-three undergraduate programmes, with about 6,000 students. Drawing on the strengths of its parent university, which grew from urban-construction and environmental roots, it is particularly strong in civil engineering and architecture, environmental engineering and urban planning, alongside business, electronic information and design. In 2019 its sponsorship was acquired by a national education group. Its core strengths lie in civil engineering and architecture, environmental engineering, urban planning and business. It suits students seeking construction- and environment-oriented undergraduate study in one of China's most attractive cities.

🌆 About Suzhou

Suzhou is a historic city in Jiangsu province renowned for its classical gardens, canals, and silk, often called the Venice of the East. With a metropolitan population of around 13 million, it pairs a beautifully preserved old town with a booming modern industrial park on the shores of Lake Tai. The climate is humid subtropical, with hot, humid summers and cool, damp winters. Its UNESCO-listed classical gardens, such as the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lingering Garden, along with Tiger Hill and the canal-lined Pingjiang Road, are its greatest treasures. Suzhou cuisine is delicate and slightly sweet, featuring squirrel mandarin fish, Aozao noodles, and famous Biluochun tea. It has a modern metro, uses the nearby Sunan Shuofang and Shanghai airports, and sits on high-speed rail less than half an hour from Shanghai. For an international student, Suzhou offers a refined, picturesque, and relatively calm setting while remaining minutes from the opportunities of Shanghai.
