Introduction
International College (UIC), situated in Zhuhai and jointly founded by Beijing Normal University and Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), is the first full-scale cooperation in higher education between the Mainland and Hong Kong. Its charter has been approved by the Ministry of Education with full support from local authorities.

UIC shoulders the historical mission of advancing the internationalization of Chinese higher education and taking the lead in implementing liberal arts education in China. Since its Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony in November 2005, UIC has grown into an internationalized college with unique educational approaches such as Whole Person Education, Four Point Education, etc. Nineteen undergraduate programs are currently being offered by three divisions, namely the Business and Management Division, the Humanities and Social Science Division, and the Science and Technology Division. UIC has extended its enrollment of Category 1 candidates to cover more than 20 provinces and municipalities. There are approximately 4000 students in UIC now. Teaching staff from more than 20 countries and regions are optimized to carry out the four-year entire English teaching.
