Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Academic Degrees Committee issued the "Notice on Adjusting the Institutions Authorized to Grant Doctoral and Master's Degrees in Guangdong Province" , announcing that Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) has been successfully approved as the Project Construction Unit for Granting Doctoral Degree. This marks another milestone in GTIIT's efforts to elevate its academic level, following its approval as the Project Construction Unit for Granting Master's Degree last year.

The newly added units were selected based on the basic conditions listed in a document issued by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, taking into consideration factors disciplinary development teams, scientific research capabilities and contributions, and the effectiveness and highlights of research platform construction. 

Securing two significant qualifications within just one year, GTIIT has demonstrated an "accelerated development" in higher education. Leveraging its international innovation talent model and aligning with national and regional needs, GTIIT is accelerating its integrated undergraduate-master's-doctoral system toward becoming a high-level, international research university.

As a young university, GTIIT has consistently delivered outstanding results in the above-mentioned evaluation areas, providing strong support for this selection. 

Under the leadership of a faculty team that includes Nobel laureates and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, international faculty account for over 80%, with a student-to-faculty ratio of approximately 10:1, and the number of scholars listed in the World's Top 2% Scientists keeps rising yearly. By the end of 2025, GTIIT had published nearly 1,700 papers in international journals, with about 80% indexed in SCIE/EI and nearly 15% featured in top-tier journals with an IF greater than 10. It has also secured over 260 research projects. The increasingly robust disciplinary teams and research foundation inject strong momentum into high-level talent cultivation.

Furthermore, GTIIT has been actively engaging with high-level dialogue platforms such as Nan'ao Science Conference and Shuangqing-Nan'ao Youth Science Forum, and has successively hosted academic conferences on cutting-edge fields like AI materials, biotechnology, and environmental sustainability. These efforts have led to notable progress in a steady rise in its academic influence.

Building on this approval, GTIIT will further optimize its disciplinary layout, strengthen its faculty, and deepen international cooperation, striving to enhance its academic standing and drive high-quality development in Guangdong and beyond.
