Our college has widely developed joint school running with more than 30 foreign universities, adopting different cooperation modes based on different requirements. For example, the Business Management Undergraduates Project of the University of London adopted “2+2” school running mode when the students study in international college for 2 years and after passing grade, enters Queen Mary College of the University of London to study undergraduate courses for another 2 years. The Pre-SEUGS Project adopted “3+2” mode when the students study 3 years in international college and after the grades of IELTS and professional courses achieving requirements, enter foreign university in the 4th year to finish the undergraduate course of last year, and may apply the master degree’s courses of foreign university in the 5th year.

Both parties exchanged opinions on cooperation modes of “2+2” Undergraduate and “3+2+1” SEUGS.
