The first batch of eight students will soon obtain their dual degree from CHU and from U. of Sunderland in June of this year (2023).

Students study in CHU for the first three years and then travel to the UK to study at U. of Sunderland in their fourth year. Upon completing the program, students will receive two diplomas. Compared to studying abroad in the UK for four years, this program saves at least 60% of tuition fees. Furthermore, CHU’s College of Tourism collaborates with foreign institutions to offer various exchange programs and overseas internships to students. By providing students with diverse learning experiences and improving their English proficiency, the college aims to enhance students’ international competitiveness and enable them to succeed in the global job market after graduation.
