Why CCN
Since it’s establishment in 2016, CCN has been working with government and industrial partners worldwide, fulfilling its mission of promoting trade and investment through education, while empowering a young generation of talents with digital capacities and a global mindset.
Through its International Foundation Programme (IFP), CCN has developed a successful system of foundation education to fully prepare international students for their Chinese-taught degree studies in China, linguistically, academically and culturally.
IFP is jointly recognised by 37 member universities in China. Students who have successfully completed IFP will be admitted to CCN member universities based on their IFP final results as sole criteria.
Between academic years of 2016/17 and 2021/22, more than 3,000 international students have completed IFP and progressed to CCN member universities successfully for their degree studies, many of whom have been awarded scholarships for their academic excellence.
