ShanghaiTech University

ShanghaiTech University is a municipal public research university in the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park of Pudong, Shanghai, built around science, engineering and biomedicine rather than the full disciplinary range of an older comprehensive university.上海科技大学是位于上海市浦东新区张江高科技园区的一所市属公立研究型大学，以理工科与生物医学为主，而非像历史悠久的综合性大学那样覆盖全部学科门类。

It was founded in 2013 by the Shanghai Municipal People's Government and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it entered the national Double First-Class Construction in February 2022.该校由上海市人民政府与中国科学院于 2013 年共同创办，并于 2022 年 2 月进入国家「双一流」建设高校名单。

ShanghaiTech occupies the 201-300 band of the 2026 Academic Ranking of World Universities, ranks 351st in the 2026-2027 U.S. News global listing, and appears in neither the 2027 Times Higher Education nor the 2027 QS world ranking.该校在 2026 年软科世界大学学术排名中处于第 201 至 300 名区间，在 2026 至 2027 年度 U.S. News 全球大学排名中位列第 351 位，未进入 2027 年泰晤士高等教育世界大学排名，也未进入 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名。

Reputation

• In the 2026 Academic Ranking of World Universities ShanghaiTech is placed in the 201-300 band, a rapid rise for an institution that enrolled its first undergraduates only in 2014.在 2026 年软科世界大学学术排名中，该校位列第 201 至 300 名区间，对于一所 2014 年才招收首届本科生的学校而言，这一攀升速度相当快。
• U.S. News ranks it 351st in the 2026-2027 global universities table, a position supported mainly by citation impact in physical sciences, chemistry and materials.《美国新闻与世界报道》在 2026 至 2027 年度全球大学排名中把它列为第 351 位，这一位置主要由物理科学、化学与材料领域的引用影响力支撑。
• The university does not appear in the 2027 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, and it also stands outside the 2027 QS World University Rankings, which measures a broader set of disciplines than ShanghaiTech teaches.该校未进入 2027 年泰晤士高等教育世界大学排名，也不在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名之内，后者的评价范围比该校所设学科更为宽泛。
