Graduates are awarded degrees from one of the partner British institutions.

SBC is based in a beautiful historic campus in the heart of the city of Shanghai. Currently, it has about 1,800 full-time undergraduate students and nearly 50 international students from 20 countries and regions. Programmes are taught in the English language across the whole spectrum of Business and Engineering by a highly qualified academic team comprising over 80 staff from 15 different countries.
