What kind of institution is GTIIT?

Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology is a Sino-foreign cooperative institution in Shantou, created by Shantou University and Technion. China’s Ministry of Education approved its formal establishment on 5 December 2016; the 2026 national directory lists its cooperative status.

Is GTIIT the same as Technion in Israel?

GTIIT has its own China institutional identity. Technion is its academic partner and awards the research MSc. Undergraduate programmes award GTIIT and Technion qualifications, with subject names that can differ between the two certificates.

Which courses are taught in English?

The current undergraduate list has seven science/engineering majors, including mathematics with computer science, mechanical engineering and robotics, chemical engineering and biotechnology/daily living engineering. Eight research-MSc subjects are listed, including mathematics, physics and chemistry. Programme instruction is English.

Can I study an AI-related subject?

Mathematics with Computer Science combines advanced mathematics with computing, algorithms, programming and systems study. Mechanical engineering offers robotics-related learning. These are the actual programme titles; an AI interest does not make them a separate AI degree.

How long are the degrees?

The undergraduate programmes last four years, preceded by four-to-six weeks of orientation in the published international admission route. The 2026 postgraduate brochure gives a normal full-time MSc period of 24 months; supplementary coursework and research progress can affect the individual plan.

Must master’s students go to Israel?

Yes. The 2026 call requires master’s students to spend at least one semester studying and researching at Technion in Haifa. Most study and research is based at GTIIT in Shantou, with dual advisors. Confirm the timing and arrangements before accepting an offer.

What is required for undergraduate admission?

The international route requires secondary-school qualifications and three years of transcripts, a strong mathematics/science background with Physics, two teacher references, a country-appropriate standardised test, English evidence and the application documents. The US/American-school route has specified SAT/ACT mathematics thresholds.

What are the undergraduate English scores?

The published international guide sets IELTS 6.0 orTOEFLiBT 80 as minimums, with 6.5 and 85 recommended. Its test/waiver wording refers to non-native speakers and non-English-medium schooling; confirm your evidence requirement with admissions.

What are the research-MSc entry requirements?

Applicants generally need an accredited bachelor’s degree and GPA of at least 80 or equivalent, plus an appropriate GTIIT advisor. Departments can set higher conditions. GTIIT and Technion committees review the application before Technion issues an acceptance letter.

Do MSc applicants need IELTS or GRE?

English is normally assessed by interview; IELTS/TOEFL may be supporting evidence. Mechanical Engineering requires GRE unless an advisor-backed waiver is approved, with possible TOEFL for non-English-speaking-country applicants. Chemistry may require GRE after interview; Physics GRE is recommended by standing guidance.

What do the published fees and funding cover?

The 2026 international undergraduate guide quotes USD 15,000 annual tuition, USD 600 housing and USD 100 application. The 2026 research-MSc policy waives tuition and lists CNY 42,000–54,000 annual fellowship with subsidised housing. Confirm the intended intake’s terms; these are not guaranteed 2027 prices or awards.

Are 2027 applications open?

The captured international undergraduate guide is for 2026 and its 1 June deadline has passed. Research MSc normally has March/October intakes, but the next cycle’s exact deadlines, fees and award terms should be confirmed with the respective admissions office before submission.
