On May 16, 2024, representatives from the University of Warsaw, Poland, visited our Higher Vocational College. The meeting with the leaders in charge of international exchange work and relevant departments of the college took place in Conference Room 811 of the Comprehensive Building.
At the meeting, the representatives from the University of Warsaw first introduced the main overview, global ranking, and advantageous disciplines of their university. They also elaborated on the cooperation modes with Chinese universities to date, major partners, and the specific arrangements and costs of various projects. As a top higher education institution in Central and Eastern Europe, the University of Warsaw is the largest national university in Poland and a renowned research university among the top 300 in the world. It has established cooperative relationships with 128 universities in 47 countries on five continents. The university offers not only undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree programs but also summer courses, preparatory courses, and vacation courses, playing a significant role as a prominent university in Central and Eastern Europe. The university adheres to a rigorous, responsible, open, and communicative attitude, actively exploring new cooperation opportunities and modes with Chinese universities.
Xiao Qian, the deputy director of the college, briefly introduced the college's situation and student levels to the visitors. He proposed that under the current policy guideline of the "Belt and Road," conducting international exchanges and cooperation between our Higher Vocational College and the University of Warsaw, a representative of higher education institutions in Central and Eastern European countries, would help enhance the internationalization level of vocational education in our college. It would also promote teachers and students to participate in educational and cultural exchanges with countries along the "Belt and Road," jointly driving educational development and cooperation in the region.
Next, both sides engaged in heated discussions and active exchanges regarding the forms and content of international exchanges they look forward to initiating. Both parties agreed that the college could first organize students to participate in the summer short-term study visit program offered by the University of Warsaw. Based on full understanding and recognition between the two parties, they could consider the possibility of deepening cooperation and launching joint undergraduate degree programs in the future.
The meeting concluded successfully in a professional, pragmatic, open, and cooperative atmosphere, yielding fruitful results. In the future, both sides will continue to promote the international exchange work of the college to a new level through in-depth exchanges and active exploration.
