Founded in 1897, Zhejiang University is one of China's oldest and most prestigious universities. It is a member of the country’s elite C9 League, and is ranked 68th globally in the 2018 QS World University Rankings. In 2016 ZJU opened a high-profile international campus which partners with other prestigious universities from around the world. Current partners are the University of Edinburgh (in the field of biomedical sciences) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (in the field of engineering), and further highly-ranked overseas institutions will join as partners in the coming years. Students are admitted with the same high academic requirements as at the rest of Zhejiang University, and graduate with degrees from both ZJU and the foreign partner university. English is the medium of instruction. The campus is based in Haining, one of China’s fastest growing cities and located in the “one-hour economic circle” of Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou. We have an ambitious vision for a new model of transnational higher education, bringing together the best of multiple countries’ higher education systems on a single campus.
