I purpose of running a school
China-Canada International College was established in September, 20001. Co-founded by Guangxi University and Canadian International Education Foundation and Center. Its purpose is to cultivate "English+major" compound talents with strong language application ability and international standards by introducing and drawing lessons from foreign advanced teaching concepts and methods, combining the needs of Guangxi's economic construction and social development, and taking advantage of Guangxi University's complete disciplines.
Second, the professional introduction
As the first step of the school's "English+major" compound talent training model, the college currently offers an undergraduate major: English (Chinese-foreign cooperative education). The students of China-Canada International College majored in English-related courses in the first and second years after their admission, and all the main courses were taught by foreign teachers, so as to cultivate students' strong English communication ability and application ability.
After two years, students can apply for admission to all undergraduate majors of Guangxi University according to their personal interests and foundation. After the diversion, the educational system for English majors is 4 years (that is, 2+2 mode), and that for other majors is 5 years (that is, 2+3 mode).
In order to ensure students' continuous English learning, students of China-Canada International College can choose English as their second major after being transferred to other majors. The students trained by this model have strong English application ability and solid professional knowledge, which will contribute to the economic construction and social development of Guangxi.
