Uniwersytet Łódzki zacieśnia relacje z chińskimi partnerami

The University of Lodz Senate has decided to continue and sign partnership agreements with three universities from the Middle Kingdom, among others, with one of the oldest universities in China – Henan University founded in 1912, as well as with Zhengzhou University of Aeronautics from Henan province and Cangzhou Technical College from Hebei province. The next step will be to conclude contracts with the universities from China and, depending on the epidemiological situation, recruit students for academic exchange programmes.

 

The cooperation is to focus on learning mobility within short- and long-term projects. Chinese students will be able to participate in summer schools organized by the University of Lodz. They will also have a chance to come for a semester exchange or even start studies at the Faculty of Economics and Sociology under the 2+2 project. In turn, lecturers will have an opportunity to conduct classes at partner universities in China.

Professor Rafał Matera, Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Sociology, has underlined that tolerance and openness are the most important in this cooperation.

We treat contacts with Chinese universities as a truly interesting experience in getting to know a different attitude towards many contemporary phenomena. We also give students from that region a chance to open to European perspective.

The Faculty of Economics and Sociology, University of Lodz has been actively cooperating with universities from China for almost 10 years by enaging in projects that allow students from China to come and study at UL. More than 130 students have already studied at the university of Lodz under the 2+2 and 1+3 projects, which after graduation guarantee diplomas of two universities. Home universities of those students were the three mentioned above universities and the largest partner of UL in China - Zhengzhou University.
