The university's syllabi and curricula follow examples set by world-leading universities and feature a well-rounded education, English lectures and courses with Chinese characteristics, Yu said.
Moreover, the university offers a liberal arts education, as all students will take courses in the humanities and social and natural sciences before choosing a major.
The student to faculty ratio in the university will be eight to one, or double the average seen in Chinese universities, Yu said.
Its assessment of student applications will be based on students' performances on China's national college entrance examination and in an NYU-style student screening process.
According to plan, the annual tuition for each student from the Chinese mainland will be about 100,000 yuan (about 15,950 U.S. dollars), which is less than what most international students pay to attend many U.S. universities, said Yu.
Tuition fees will be officially announced after being approved by the Shanghai municipal pricing authorities.
The university will accommodate an estimated 3,000 Chinese and international students in the future.
