   How it compares

   China has 398 universities, and USTC sits in that field as a public university with direct links to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and support from national and provincial bodies. That makes it a relevant option for students who want a government-linked institution rather than a private university, but you still need to verify the exact programme fit and admission route.
