Grading System

(1) The Chinese Credits System used by USST is based on the class instruction time for subjects. In USST, one academic year consists of two semesters, the total number of weeks of instruction in a semester is 16.

(2) 1 WHS (weekly hour per semester) = 45 minutes of class instruction multiplied by 16.

1 academic hour = 45 minutes；1 credit = 16 hours workload of classes

(3) Type of Course. The score of the examination courses is graded in a hundred-mark system, courses with no examination will be evaluated with Grades instead of score.

(4) Special System in SBC

The Sino-British College (SBC) is an international university college jointly established by University of Shanghai for Science & Technology (USST) and 9 leading British Universities. SBC offers UK undergraduate degree credits and the full degree programs taught entirely in English.

Courses in English

The list of courses may change by the beginning of the semester due to unforeseen circumstances and mostly because of timetables, which are not ready when the courses are offered. Timetables will be available when you arrive. Make changes are allowed in your Learning Agreement once you have arrived. The courses will be more or less the same as last year, but make sure that the list is not 100% the same. You can find the previous course list here for reference.
