Our Story

Founded in 2020, Shanghai Corgi University emerged from a vision to create an institution that combines academic excellence with the joyful spirit embodied by our beloved mascot, the corgi. What began as a small campus in the heart of Shanghai has grown into one of Asia's most innovative universities.

Our founders believed that education should be both rigorous and joyful, challenging and supportive. The corgi, with its intelligence, loyalty, and boundless energy, perfectly represents these values. Today, SCU stands as a testament to this philosophy, attracting students and faculty from around the world.
