The Sino-British College (SBC) is an international university college in Shanghai, China, jointly established by the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST), and nine British universities: The University of Bradford, The University of Huddersfield, The University of Leeds, Leeds Metropolitan University, Liverpool John Moores University, Manchester Metropolitan University, The University of Salford, The University of Sheffield, and Sheffield Hallam University.

License

SBC became a fully licensed university college on 1 September 2006. It is the only Shanghai-based higher education institution to be awarded a license by the Chinese Ministry of Education to offer full degree programmes to multiple overseas universities (the so-called "1 to N Model"), either taught entirely at the Shanghai campus, or with a period of study abroad. Graduates are awarded degrees from one of the partner British institutions.

Programmes are taught in the English language across the whole spectrum of Business and Engineering by over 80 staff from 15 different countries.
