WZU’s College of International Education (previously “College of International Cooperation”) was established in 2006 and adopts an education philosophy of “Amazing WZUers: Bring the World to Wenzhou, Bridge Wenzhou with the World”. WZU’s College of International Education (“CIE” for short) actively follows the national “Belt and Road” initiative and earnestly promotes the municipal brand of “Wenzhou, a Millennial Port & Happy City”.
By tapping on the potentials of internationalizing advantageous disciplines to build a shiny “Study@WZU” brand name, we strive to cultivate outstanding young international talents who are informed of, friendly to and affectionate towards China, enhance WZU’s international profile, serve China’s education opening up strategy in the new era, and serve the building of a global community with a shared future.
Currently we have 30 faculty and staff members; among the faculty 72% hold doctoral degrees and 56% have overseas education experience. We have students from 89 countries including USA, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Russia, Ghana, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe. Our graduates are employed globally, with those working or starting up businesses in Wenzhou increasing steadily.
CIE offers a professional degree program in Master of Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages (MTCSOL) to cultivate international Chinese language teachers proficient in teaching Chinese as a second language and effective in teaching online, offline, and in a blended manner. We’ve also taken initiatives in developing practice bases home and abroad, with agreements signed with 10 universities and enterprises. Among the first batch of Chinese language education bases authorized by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, CIE is engaged in educating overseas Chinese youth, training principals and instructors for overseas Chinese schools, with a proud track record over the years.
CIE has also developed dual-degree programs with international counterparts such as Burapha University, Naresuan University (Thailand), and Siena University (Italy) in the form of 3+1, 2+2 in undergraduate program of Chinese language and literature, and 1+1.5 in MTCSOL.
