[edit] History
Sun Yat-sen University, originally known as National Kwangtung University (国立广东大学), was founded in 1924 by Dr. Sun Yat-sen. It combined National Higher Normal College (广东高等师范学校), Kwangtung Provincial Law College (广东公立法科大学) and Provincial Agricultural Technical School (广东公立农业专门学校), and after his death it was renamed National Sun Yat-sen University in 1926.
[edit] Campus
The campus was originally located at Shipai (石牌), Eastern Guangzhou. In the early 1950s, Sun Yat-sen University was merged with Lingnan University and relocated to Kangle Yuan (康乐园), Southern Guangzhou, which is now called the South Campus. In 2000, the Zhuhai Campus was established in Tangjiawan (唐家湾), city of Zhuhai. In 2001, the former Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences merged into Sun Yat-sen University, constituting the current North Campus. The East Campus was established in 2004 in Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center (广州大学城), Panyu, Guangzhou.
[edit] Zhuhai Campus
In September, 1999, the local Zhuhai Government made a proposal with Sun Yat-sen University to establish a university in the city. Upon its establishment, it was the first university in the area. The Zhuhai Campus is the biggest campus among the four campuses and has a total area of 3.48 square kilometers.
