The College for International Cooperative Programs
Shanghai International Studies University
The College for International Cooperative Programs (CICP), Shanghai International Studies University (SISU), undertakes joint international education programs. Established in 1999, the CICP runs joint foundation programs, chiefly in the fields of business, social science and art study, with a number of well-known institutions of higher education in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, Japan, South Korea, etc. These programs, featuring jointly-designed curricula, up-to-date course content, high-quality teaching, and effective management, aim at equipping students with essential learning abilities with a schooling of up to two years at SISU, mainly in the domain of foreign-language education and subject-specific academic courses. Upon the completion of the programs at SISU with required qualifications, and having met the visa requisites, the students will, as scheduled, move on to the target programs at the overseas partner universities. The students will be conferred Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees after they have achieved the credits required by the respective target universities.
The CICP attaches great importance to the development of the students’ innovation and communication abilities, and is dedicated to nurturing the spirits of independence and self-discipline. Immersed in rich academic atmosphere on campus, students are also encouraged to take part in a variety of sports and cultural activities, the purpose of which is to get them well prepared both academically and socially. Over the years, approximately 2000 students of the CICP’s various foundation programs have successfully progressed to partner universities abroad with favourable recognition. Most of these students have completed their degree programs, and are well received in the chosen professions for their adequate knowledge and excellent performance.
The CICP’s SISU-CSCSE Overseas Training Centre is an establishment of foundation programs, featuring international education; it is jointly supervised by the Chinese Service Centre for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE) affiliated to the Ministry of Education of China. The Centre, the first of its kind in China, runs joint programs with notable institutions of higher education in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, Japan, South Korea, etc. The Centre is dedicated to providing the students with a humanistic and holistic education that promotes global and innovative thinking, thus making constructive use of their academic knowledge and developing skills for proficient and well-balanced cross-cultural communication. Students are expected to meet the academic requirements jointly stipulated by SISU, the CSCSE, and partner universities; those who fail to meet the requirements will not proceed to the target overseas degree programs. In addition to the professional team of distinguished teachers, the Centre is also staffed with a sufficient number of dedicated tutors and program coordinators. On top of the academic considerations, the Centre offers specialized consulting service to guide the students in their career development.
