KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 3 (Bernama) – Pioneering partnerships between Zhejiang University and some of the world's top universities are helping to make it one of the most attractive universities in China for global education.
The hugely impressive Haining International Campus is host to the Zhejiang University-University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Institute and the Zhejiang University-University of Edinburgh Institute.
"What we offer students here is unique -- the courses, the education and the residential college. This is a whole new education model, the collaboration between top universities and internationalisation. We are bringing new ideas together from different cultures in our partnership," said ZJU-UIUC Institute dean, Er'ping Li, in a statement today.
“The future is challenging, it doesn't work just to solve a problem in one area, you have to understand more than one area to really solve a problem. So, the students follow a multi-disciplinary programme, instead of a single pathway. We are training the students for future requirements," Li added.
"If you want a good quality education in a safe and vibrant environment and especially if you want to be an innovator, then China is a really interesting place to come," said Zhejiang University-University of Edinburgh Institute executive dean, Professor Susan Welburn.
Reflecting on the opportunities offered at Zhejiang University, she added: "If I had the chance now, I would study here!
“Being able to study at two of the best universities in the world and being able to have an immersive experience in a different culture while studying, I think that is an incredible opportunity for both sides -- for the students who want to come here and engage in an international setting and also for international students who want to come out with a four-year degree and an immersive experience in China with fluency in Mandarin.”
