Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in China ranked based on their research performance in Software Engineering. A graph of 1.17M citations received by 143K academic papers made by 383 universities in China was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
