President's Address: Embark on the Future from Zhongqiao
At the beginning of the launch, President Cao Yuping warmly welcomed all attendees and thanked them for visiting Zhongqiao on such a vibrant spring day.

The university's enterprise-driven teaching model is helping students grow through practice and discover their place in the global landscape.
He remarked, “Choosing a university is essentially choosing a platform for your future.” Zhongqiao is committed to providing a multi-dimensional growth pathway that integrates academic qualifications + practical skills, domestic + international, and learning + hands-on experience, opening windows to the world for its students.
Program Highlights: Diverse International Joint Programs
Director of the International Cooperation and Exchange Office, Wang Ling, gave a comprehensive introduction to the school's current collaborations with top international universities. Partner institutions include Curtin University (Australia), the University of South Wales (UK), OEJU/NSG University Consortium (Japan), and Mediadesign Hochschule (Germany), among others. These partnerships offer a variety of flexible training models tailored to students' academic backgrounds and professional goals.
In recent years, more students have joined Zhongqiao's joint programs and pursued international studies, gaining rich academic and personal growth experiences across various countries and disciplines. These programs are not only educational pathways, but also important channels that help students understand and integrate into the world. The university will continue to deepen its international collaborations and provide flexible, diverse, and human-centered training programs for future global talent.
Teaching System: Building an Integrated Educational Framework

She noted that the university places high importance on teaching quality and student adjustment, with well-coordinated support in areas such as curriculum, language training, and program management. The goal is to equip students with a solid foundation during their domestic studies to ensure a smooth transition to studying abroad.
Interactive Experiences: Immersive Exploration of Zhongqiao's Charm
In the library lobby, a project consultation zone was set up, where students and parents engaged in face-to-face discussions with international program coordinators, overseas liaison officers, and academic management teams. Many parents raised questions regarding language requirements, visa preparation, cost planning, and future career paths. The responses were detailed and patient, creating an enthusiastic and informative atmosphere.
During the campus tour, visitors were impressed by the clean and cozy dormitories, spacious and bright learning areas, and technologically advanced management systems. These experiences left students and parents filled with anticipation for campus life at Zhongqiao University.
