Facing keen global competition in the 21st century, we are devoted to integrating the associate resources and promoting international, cultural, and academic exchanges. Through these international exchanges, we aim to arm our students with a strong command of foreign languages and to cultivate them into global citizens. We actively seek opportunities to interact with prestigious universities overseas and to create opportunities for our faculty members to broaden their academic experiences and for our students to pursue further studies abroad. We have made it our aim to be an internationalized university in terms of academic research and higher education.

The number of undergraduate and graduate students with study abroad experience continues to increase every year. In addition to the current exchange program for undergraduates, we have launched a one-year study abroad program for juniors in order to promote international education one step further. Every summer, we send study groups overseas which encourage our students to experience different cultures and ways of life. We anticipate more than 200 students will participate in our study abroad programs every year.

STUST has established formal academic relationships with 162 universities around the world, including renowned universities in Australia, Austria, Canada, Croatia, China, the Czech Republic, Estonia, India, Indonesia, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, the UK, the USA, and Vietnam.

Currently, we have six English-taught master programs: the Global MBA program, the MS and Ph.D. programs in Mechanical Engineering, the MS and Ph.D. programs in Electrical Engineering, and the Ph.D Program in Business Management. We eagerly recruit international students. We provide them with Chinese lessons, assistantships, and comprehensive services. We aim to recruit an increasing number of outstanding international students each year.

Collaborating with the four colleges at STUST, we actively invite distinguished scholars from our partner universities to participate in our annual international conferences. In addition, we regularly host scholars from abroad and invite them to give academic lectures and classroom presentations on our campus. Many interactions with our overseas partners take place through faculty exchange, and the number of exchange scholars is expected to grow every year.
