The College of International Education


The college of International Education (CIE) at Tianjin University of Technology (TUT) is an institute established especially for recruiting international students for TUT, offering programs in Chinese language study and other degree programs in various fields of science, engineering, management, literature, art and law.

The College of International Education, which is among the first recommended Chinese language learning bases by the Ministry of Education of China, has an integrated set of scientific and well-balanced teaching systems. These teaching systems coordinate the training of basic skills as listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating. Classes both in Chinese language and culture are carefully designed according to the individual needs of each student. There are different teaching forms, including a small-class teaching model, step-by-step class learning, after-class practice in Chinese language and culture, as well as language partnerships with native Chinese students. Through these methods, the language skills, cultural knowledge, and practical ability of the overseas students is greatly strengthened. In addition to the teaching of Chinese language, the college offers a number of elective programs covering various aspects of traditional Chinese culture and art, including Chinese Wushu, calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, seal cutting, egg carving, paper-cuts, and performance of ethnic musical instruments and drama.  Students may choose elective programs according to their individual interests.
