Located in Beijing, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences was established with the approval of the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Its predecessor, the Graduate University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (GUCAS), was the first graduate school in China. UCAS granted the PRC’s first Ph.D. degree in science, the first Ph.D. degree in engineering, the first Ph.D. degree to a female student, and the first double Ph.D. degree. In June 2012, GUCAS was renamed UCAS. Now UCAS boasts its four campuses in different locations (Yuquanlu, Zhongguancun, the Olympic Village, and Yanqi Lake), and has provided high-quality education to almost 200,000 students as of Dec 2021.
