Now HSS has gradually built up a team of high-caliber faculty members. We recruit professors, senior experts, and academics globally with the uniformly rigorous standards that apply to world-class universities, such as the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). We now have more than 180 full-time teachers, most of whom had learning, teaching and research experience overseas.
In recent years, students from HSS have made continuous progress in academic research, publishing many journal papers and conference papers in international leading journals and important conferences, and made achievements in important competitions nationwide. We now have five cohorts of BA Translation graduates, two cohorts of BSc Applied Psychology graduates, and 1 cohort of BA English Studies graduates, totaling 324. The overall employment rate exceeded 97%. More than 80% of graduates chose to pursue further education, among whom 40% were admitted to QS top 30 universities, and 65% were enrolled in QS top 50 universities. Over 15% were employed directly with an average annual salary of around 180,000 RMB. 68% of graduates worked at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
HSS continues to carry out domestic and foreign exchanges and cooperation at various levels. As of September 2024, HSS has signed cooperative agreements with many well-known universities overseas to establish various cooperative frameworks such as exchange & visiting programmes, joint cultivating programmes, including Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, University of Southern California, University of Sussex, University of Westminster, Victoria University of Wellington. HSS will continue to actively expand overseas exchanges & visiting programs, and deepen cooperation with well-known overseas universities.
Dear teachers, students and parents, we really appreciate your help and support to HSS. I believe that the ambitious goals of HSS will be realized as long as all of us work together with one heart. I also sincerely welcome international talents to join us in creating a better future!
