accredited among the first group of 38 universities and colleges as a Model Base for

Studying in China by the Ministry of Education. It is listed, by the China Scholarship

Council and the Hanban/Confucius Institute Headquarters, the Guangdong Provincial

Scholarships agency and the GDUFS Scholarship fund and, as of the end of 2014 the

Training Programs with courses designed for different Chinese study levels and IIE

accepts students all year-round. Additionally, we have Business Chinese courses for

those who want to go into businesses or apply their language skills in business. We

also organize activities regarding Guangdong Provinces’ commercial culture such as

sessions for international students…with the participation of volunteer Chinese

students majoring in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, Italian,

Japanese, Korean, Indonesia-Malay, Vietnamese, Thai, Arabic and so on. Our teachers

have a combination of overseas Chinese study and teaching experiences.
