::: Academic Exchange

International exchange plays an important role in the university's development plans. In order to facilitate exchanges, the university established an International Affairs Section, under the Office of Technology Cooperation, in 1996 (renamed the "Section for Academic Exchange and Cooperation", under Office of R&D, in August of 2003.)

The Section is responsible for handling academic cooperation with sister schools and assisting in international, technical and scientific cooperation and exchange. In December of 1997, the university also established the Committee for Academic Exchange and Cooperation in order to meet the growing needs of the university's cooperative programs.

The academic exchanges at the university include mutual visitation, faculty exchanges, visiting professors, scholarly training, cooperative research projects, student exchanges, joint-degree programs, enrolling of foreign students, study-abroad tours, co-organized international conferences, and publication exchanges. The university will continue to develop collaborative programs with well-known universities around the world, in order to expand the range and depth of its international exchange and cooperation.
