Recently, the Ministry of Education (MOE) formally approved two major adjustments to Chengdu University's Sino-foreign cooperative education, marking two significant breakthroughs for the university in this field.

The undergraduate program in Electrical Engineering and Automation, jointly offered by Chengdu University and South Korea's Gachon University, has been successfully approved to transition to a "4+0" dual-degree model (i.e., all four years of study are completed in China without the need to study abroad). Eligible students can now earn bachelor's degrees from both universities. The recent approval also extends the program's cooperation period through 2034, providing a solid institutional foundation for its long-term stability and high-quality development, thereby significantly enhancing its appeal and competitiveness.

Concurrently, the MOE also approved adjustments to Stirling College—a Sino-foreign cooperative institution established in partnership with the UK's University of Stirling—were approved. The college's annual undergraduate enrollment will increase from 300 to 400 students, bringing its total student enrollment to 1,870. Meanwhile, the joint education agreement has been extended to 2040, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable and high-quality development of Stirling College.

These adjustments represent another step forward in Chengdu University's efforts to deepen educational openness, signaling a new phase of enhancing quality and efficiency in its Sino-foreign cooperative education initiatives. The university will actively fulfill the requirements for high-level educational openness. By further leveraging Sino-foreign cooperative education platforms as a bridge and engine, it aims to advance international collaborative research, support interdisciplinary integration, and cultivate more high-level, globally-minded professionals to serve local industrial development.
