About SAFAShanghai Academy of Fine Arts, formerly the Shanghai Technical Art School, was established in 1959. It inherited the creative art spirit of the Shanghai College of Fine Arts, founded by Liu Haisu in 1912.  Following its 1983 merger with the new Shanghai University, the school name was changed to the Art College of Shanghai University.  In December 2016, it was officially renamed Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts (SAFA). At present SAFA has three National First Class doctoral majors (Fine Arts, Arts Theory, and Design) and a post-doctoral program.  The total student enrollment is currently about 2000, including 1200 undergraduate students, 580 graduate and PhD students, and 30 overseas students. Program IntroductionShanghai Academy of Fine Arts offers, to international students, a program of instruction leading to the PhD in art history or art practice that prepares graduates to teach the history and theory of art at the college level, to conduct museum work, and to engage in independent art research, critical writing, and art practice, including experimental high tech for the visual arts. The curriculum of the International Art PhD program is designed to ensure breadth across the discipline, both in terms of field distribution and methodology. The program covers a diversity of art history, theory, and criticism with specializations such as museum studies, digital art, or new media offered in any of the cultural areas in which the faculty conduct research.  The PhD with a concentration in art practice is for artists whose work engages in art historical, cultural and artistic research.The applicant can choose one of the three PhD majors as following codes regulated by The Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China:1301 Arts Theory1304 Fine Arts1305 DesignThis International PhD program has a unique curriculum instructed by a group of internationally known scholars and professors from, for instance, the University of California, Rhode Island School of Design, San Francisco Art Institute, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, Tokyo University of the Arts, and Tate Modern (UK) with a wide range of research specialties, chronologically spanning ancient to 21th-century art history, and geographically Asia and other countries of the world. They will bring their experience in their areas of expertise, including art history, theory and criticism, art practice, and new media, including new technology, to benefit the curriculum and to provide practical opportunities for art students. Program ObjectivesThis PhD program is a unique four-year curriculum that is closely integrated with art practice. The program is also distinctive in that it is designed to cut across traditional categories of history and contemporaneity, art and media (film, video, photography, digital media), history and theory, and to promote cross-cultural inquiry on questions crucial to the study of art of diverse cultures, art forms and historical epochs.  Chinese LanguageStudents are required to take classes in Chinese language during the first academic year at Shanghai University. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education of China, each student must pass the Chinese test HSK level three as a PhD degree requirement.  Schooling System1301 The Arts Theory[Art Administration and Museum Studies] -Prof. Frances Morris[Contemporary Art, Modern Art, Socially Engaged Art, Public Art]-Dr. Grant Kester[Public Practices/Art in the Public Domain]-Dr. Jeannene Przyblyski[Modern and Contemporary Chinese Art, Sino-Japanese Art Exchange]-Dr. Kuiyi Shen[Art History, Art Criticism, Aesthetics, Museum Studies, International Artistic Events]-Dr. Yongwoo Lee1304 Fine Arts[Comparative Studies Between the East and West Modern and Contemporary Art with Emphasis on the Practice and its Theory]-Dr. Gan Yu[Computational Augmented Media and Art]-Dr. Hansong Zhang[Oil Painting, Contemporary Art, Public Art, Art Project]-Dr. Hoshina Toyomi[Lithography Practice]-Prof. Ingrid Ledent[Contemporary Approaches to Acrylic Painting and Processes]-Prof. Jeremy Morgan[Research in Spatial Dynamics]-Prof. Ken Horii[Multi-Media Arts and Materials]-Prof. Ming Ren1305 Design[Creative Education, Contemporary Glass, Art in China]-Prof. Andrew Brewerton[Design History and Design Theory]-Prof. Shouzhi Wang[Interactive Multi-user Immersive Multimedia Environments]-Prof. Timothy Gruchy Supervisory Team of International Scholars and ProfessorsProf. Frances Morris - Director of Tate Modern, UK frances.morris@tate.org.uk Dr. Grant Kester - Professor of Art History, University of California San Diego, USA gkester@ucsd.edu Dr. Jeannene Przyblyski – Professor of San Francisco Art Institute, USA jprzyblyski@sfai.edu Dr. Kuiyi Shen - Professor of Art History, University of California San Diego, USAkshen@ucsd.edu Dr. Yongwoo Lee - Artistic Director, Shanghai International Art City, Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts  yongwoolee@shu.edu.cn Dr. Gan Yu - Postdoctoral Fellow of Harvard Chinese Art Media Lab, Harvard University ganyu@fas.harvard.edu Dr. Hansong Zhang - Chief scientist, Niantic Inc., California, USA hansong@gmail.com Dr. Hoshina Toyomi - Vice President and Professor, Tokyo University of the Arts, Japan hoshina@fa.geidai.ac.jp Prof. Ingrid Ledent – Professor, Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts. ledent.ingrid@telenet.be Prof. Jeremy Morgan – Professor, San Francisco Art Institute, USA jmorgan@sfai.edu Prof. Ken Horii – Professor, Rhode Island School of Design, USA khorii@risd.edu Prof. Ming Ren - Assistant to the President and Professor, San Francisco Art Institute, USA mren@sfai.edu Prof. Andrew Brewerton, Principal and Chief Executive of Plymouth College of Artajbrewerton@gmail.com Prof. Shouzhi Wang – Professor, Art Center College of Design, USA wang_shouzhi@126.com Prof. Timothy Gruchy – Director, Digital Media Department, Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts timeg@shu.edu.cnAdmission EligibilityThe International Art PhD program is only for applicants seeking a PhD who have already completed the MA or MFA degree.

On October 30, ARWU officially released 2019’ s ranking of China's best disciplines, covering 96 first-level disciplines, adding three disciplines (Systems Science, Armament Science and Technology, Landscape Architecture) over last year. The ranking targeted all the universities with academic postgraduate degree programs within the first-level discipline and published the top 50% of universities. A total of 4,986 disciplines from 460 universities were listed in the ranking. SHU boasts 35 disciplines listed (see the table below).

On the afternoon of October 15th, Shanghai University organized a high-level talent recruitment event at the University of Technology Sydney. The event was presided over by Jin Xingyu, Deputy Director of the Personnel Division of Shanghai University and attended by nearly 50 outstanding scholars and young talents who have studied and worked in Sydney and other Australian cities. At the event, President Liu Changsheng, on behalf of Shanghai University, extended a sincere invitation to overseas talents. Shanghai University gives strong support to overseas outstanding talents in career development, team building, housing and other aspects. In addition, Shanghai University focuses on the construction of cross-discipline subjects, with a complete range of disciplines, so everyone will find a tailored career path. He eagerly expected overseas talents to join Shanghai University and contribute their strength to the construction of the motherland. Meanwhile, teachers of the Talent Office and Director of SHU-UTS SILC Business School Lv Kangjuan also gave a detailed introduction on the basic composition of the university, the development of disciplines, the cultivation of talents and the prospect of employment. In the subsequent free exchange session, local outstanding young people in Sydney had an in-depth exchange and communication with the participating teachers on such hot issues as research assessment, salary and academic development, etc. It is an effective way for colleges and universities to build talent team by gathering overseas high-level talents through overseas recruitment events. Next, the special recruitment event of Shanghai University at National University of Singapore will be held at 3:00 PM, October 19th at Shaw Foundation Alumni House, 11 Kent Ridge Drive, Singapore 119244, and the special recruitment event at Universität Heidelberg will be held at 6:00 PM, November 10th at Institute of Organic Chemistry, Universität Heidelberg. We are looking forward to young talents who are willing to return to the motherland and draw a brilliant blueprint with us!

Thanks to six years of meticulous preparation, SHU-UTS SILC Business School (SILC) has successively accomplished initial report, annual report, Initial Self-Evaluation Report (iSER), Final Self-Evaluation Report (SER) and other evaluations of AACSB accreditation, and has been qualified for an on-site visit by AACSB. To better prepare the on-site visit, the teachers and students of the school treated the accreditation like an “exam” since six months ago. Several seminars on accreditation were held throughout the school, which enabled all faculty and staff to have a clear understanding of the characteristics and basic requirements of AACSB accreditation. With a very intensive three-day on-site visit schedule, the on-site visit expert panel, composed of deans of three internationally renowned business schools, including College of Business, California State University Long Beach, USA, Bond Business School of Bond University, Australia and School of Management of China University in Taiwan, China, conducted 11 highly targeted in-depth interviews with groups from different departments. The founding members of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) include management schools of Harvard University, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University and other world-renowned universities. It was formally established in 1916 and is the world’s leading non-governmental accreditation organization for business schools and accounting programs. The AACSB accreditation represents the highest achievement of business schools in the world. The accredited business schools are also regarded as business schools with first-class teaching quality. AACSB’s rigorous accreditation system and high standards are universally recognized. There are only 24 business schools in ‘Mainland China that have earned AACSB accreditation, most of which are “Project 985” universities, the top universities in China.
