As an important pursuit of ideas, graduate schools advocate teacher-student orientation and academic orientation. In our work, we should persist in taking development and innovation as the soul, service quality as the purpose, purify the style of study and improve the quality of postgraduate education as the center, boldly learn from the successful experience of the mainstream of international postgraduate education, and strive to form the characteristics and personality of postgraduate education in Sun Yat-sen University, so as to make due contributions to improving the academic level and personnel training level of our school.

The history of postgraduate education in Sun Yat-sen University began in the 1920s. 1935 In the spring, Sun Yat-sen University, Tsinghua University and Peking University formally established graduate schools with the approval of the then Ministry of Education, which was the earliest institution in China to establish graduate schools.

After the founding of New China, the graduate education of Sun Yat-sen University has been developing continuously, from 1949 to 1967, and a total of 177 graduate students have been trained. Since the reform and opening up, Sun Yat-sen University is one of the earliest universities in China to resume postgraduate education. 1986, with the approval of the State Council, our school formally established a graduate school.
