On the 26th June 2024 we were delighted to celebrate the first conferring ceremony of the Guangzhou Dublin International College of Life Sciences & Technology (GDIC).
Guangzhou Dublin International College of Life Sciences & Technology (GDIC), founded in 2020, is a joint international college established in collaboration between, and governed by, University College Dublin (UCD) South China Agricultural University (SCAU). It is located on the SCAU campus, in the sprawling port city of Guangzhou (the “City of Flowers” in southern China and an important trade centre). GDIC’s focus is on Life Science & Technology in the context of the agriculture and food science environments and offers three degree programmes in Biological Sciences, Food Quality and Safety and Horticulture.
