According to official website of South China University of Technology, Future Institute of Science and Technology is a new college established by South China University of Technology in Guangzhou International Campus, focusing on building artificial intelligence and data science and big data technology, serving the national innovation-driven development strategy, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area construction and the "Belt and Road Initiative". The faculty of the Institute of Future Technology consists of outstanding professors and researchers from the School of Telecommunications, the School of Computer Science and the School of Software of South China University of Technology, including internationally renowned artificial intelligence experts such as Shen Xiangyang, Zhang Lei and Tao Dacheng. The enrollment plan of the future institute of technology is divided into two levels: master's degree and doctoral degree, and about 100 graduate students and 20 doctoral students are enrolled each year. Graduate students of future science and technology only recruit comprehensive evaluation candidates, not unified examination candidates. In the future, the annual tuition fee for master students in Institute of Technology is 95,000 yuan, and that for doctoral students is 6,543,800 yuan. The training goal of the future institute of technology is to train a group of engineering leaders who master the key technologies of the future and are in line with international standards, so as to provide high-level scientific and technological innovation and services for the country and society. In the future, the curriculum and teaching mode of science and technology should be connected with the world-class artificial intelligence and data science education, and the combination of theory and practice should be emphasized to cultivate students' innovative thinking and practical ability. In the future, graduates from technical colleges will have the opportunity to engage in scientific research, education, industry or public service in the fields related to artificial intelligence and data science, or continue their studies and pursue higher-level degrees. Future Institute of Technology has established cooperative relations with many well-known enterprises and institutions at home and abroad, providing rich employment opportunities and development space for graduates.

In a word, the College of Future Technology of South China University of Technology is a forward-looking, innovative and international new college, which provides a high-quality platform for candidates who are interested in research or application in artificial intelligence, data science and other fields.
