Xi'an Jiaotong Liverpool University

[EduCativ]

XJTLU was fortunate to have been founded at a time of innovation and challenges. The University is committed to improving higher education and exploring new models for higher education in China. Founded in 2006, we are the largest international joint venture university in China, a partnership between Xi'an Jiaotong University and the University of Liverpool.

Our vision is to become a research-led international university in China. A Chinese university is recognized internationally for its unique learning and teaching, research, social service, and education management. Increasing internationalization remains a cornerstone of our University's vision and mission. Substantial steps have been taken, but challenges require particular dedication, effort, investment, and support. Mission:

• Educate technical and managerial professionals with international perspectives and competitive capabilities
• Integrate global economic and social development with expertise in business and technology
• With our unique focuses and features, research areas where humanity faces severe challenges
• Explore new models for higher education that will influence the development of education in China and the world.

One of XJTLU's missions is to explore new models for higher education that will influence the development of education in China and the world. In line with this commitment, we have striven to ensure that our exploration is internationally relevant, intellectually challenging, and at the forefront of the fast-changing higher education sector. Our academic community is the driving force behind the implementation of many of the developments and refinements needed at this stage of the development of XJTLU. As a research-led University, we believe the provision of postgraduate education excellence will enrich and support the academic community's ongoing growth.

Students are at the center of everything we do. In line with the overall goal of XJTLU increasingly adopting international principles around student engagement, we aim to treat students as young adults and have them contribute to the discussion, debate, and decision in as many forums as possible. XJTLU strives to develop a new, symbiotic relationship with business, industry, and the local community. The University acts as a vital center of competence and services that help tackle social challenges, drive economic growth, and make a positive intellectual impact on the public.

You are a future entrepreneur, scientist, architect, engineer, diplomat, researcher, educator, or executive in our increasingly global environment. You have a desire to understand other cultures and become a citizen of the world. We want you. At XJTLU, you will find an international community of learners in the heart of China's ongoing economic success story and opportunities found nowhere else on Earth. Our global community of more than 10,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students (2,000 of whom are registered at the University of Liverpool) and 450 academic staff from 50 countries are continually growing, offering you the chance to make connections with people from across the world.

The University's research strategy commits developing the physical and cultural environment necessary to build on its own and its parent universities' current strengths. XJTLU aims to establish an international profile based on world-class, cutting-edge research and provide a framework for action through sharply focussed key research themes and centers. XJTLU will orientate itself towards applied research, aiming to enhance Suzhou Industrial Park's research infrastructure and gain crucial support from the local government. The University is also well positioned as a bridge for Sino-British research collaboration, serving both as a portal for research talents entering China and a showcase for local research potential to the world at large. XJTLU's research strategy is kept under active review and evolves together with the development of academic programs. It will be measured by its feasibility, focus, and sustainability.
