SBC became a fully licensed university college on September 1st, 2006. It is the only Shanghai-based higher education institution to be awarded a license by the Chinese Ministry of Education to offer full degree programs taught entirely in English to multiple overseas universities (the so-called “1 to N Consortium Model”), either taught entirely at the Shanghai campus or with a period of study abroad. Graduates are awarded degrees from one of the partner British institutions.SBC is based on a beautiful historic campus in the heart of the city of Shanghai. Currently, it has about 1,400 full-time undergraduate students and about 30 international students from more than 10 countries and regions. Degree programs are taught entirely in the English language across the whole spectrum of Business and Engineering by a highly qualified academic team comprising about 80 international staff from 20 different countries plus over 100 bilingual administrative staff many of whom have studied for international degrees.

Historic Campus

Built almost a century ago, SBC’s truly unique campus has classical European architecture and is located right at the heart of Shanghai. The buildings include German, French, and British design features, and the campus gardens are maintained with a combination of Chinese and European balance. Ever since the campus was built, it has been a place for distinguished learning and research. From here, its academic community is making increasing key contributions to the economic and social well-being of the local community, and will undoubtedly have a growing impact on the city of Shanghai and the nation.
