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.

The buildings include German, French, and British design features, and the campus gardens are maintained with a combination of Chinese and European balance.

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.
