CCUT is one of the first universities initially authorized by the Ministry of Education to admit foreign students and send exchanged students and scholars to conduct scientific research by building cooperative relationships with universities, institutes and enterprises in foreign countries, such as Britain, America, Japan, South Korea, Russia and so on. We have organized joint undergraduate programs by cooperating with American Oakland University and Portland State University.
Apart from emphasizing teaching affairs and scientific research, our university also puts stress on cultivating students’ comprehensive qualities and creating cultural atmosphere on campus, with different kinds of scientific, technological, recreational and sports activities held by students’ societies.
We are striving to build CCUT into a first-class local university!
