The UCAS School of Astronomy and Space Science

The UCAS School of Astronomy and Space Science was founded in June 2015 by NAOC with the help of nine supporting institutes,its Dean being the high-level scientist of NAOC. The School of Astronomy and Space Science already organises course teaching for roughly 180 graduate students each year, and more than 30 third-year and forth-year undergraduates who intend to graduate as astronomy majors.

The School intends to develop well-rounded students with not only theoretical understanding but also creative imaginations and practical skills. The main Yanqihu campus will host a substantial teaching telescope and laboratories for building both optical and radio instruments.
