Lingnan (University) College is originated from Lingnan University, which was set up in 1888 by friendly Americans in Guangzhou. After several relocations, Kangle Village was selected as the permanent site of Lingnan in 1904.
In 1927, Chinese reclaimed the administrative power of Lingnan University. Dr. Wing Kwong Chong assumed the presidency and Mr. Sun Ke chaired the Board of Trustees.
By the 1930s, Lingnan University had developed into a widely-recognized comprehensive university with a wide range of disciplines in Liberal Arts, Science, Engineering, Agriculture, Medicine and Business, with outstanding faculty of high academic excellence and graduates scattered all over the world.
In 1952, during a nation-wide restructuring of colleges and universities, different departments of Lingnan were incorporated into other universities, primarily into Zhongshan University (now Sun Yat-Sen University).
In December 1987, the establishment of Lingnan (University) College of Sun Yat-sen Universtiy was approved by the State Education Commission. L(U)C was then launched in September 1989.
In 1997, the Department of computer Science and Computing mathematics was incorporated into other colleges in Sun Yat-sen University and L(U)C has been established as a business school ever since.
Prof. WU Lifan is now the dean of Lingnan (University) College.
"We are confident that, together with our colleagues and alumni, we will make L(U)C a worldwide-recognized business school that contributes to the future of Chinese economy."
---- Wu Lifan
