Wenzheng College enjoys degrees of success

Building links with institutions overseas means ensuring a global outlook, Shi Jing reports in Shanghai.

While competition has become increasingly fierce among the 400-plus privately-run colleges in China, Wenzheng College of Soochow University in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, stands out from its peers with its strength of internationalization, a strategy that has been adopted over the past 20 years since it was founded in 1998.

Wu Changzheng, head of Wenzheng College, returned to Suzhou in mid-March with good news after a business trip to Canada - it will soon start cooperation with another Canadian university in May, when his college is to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
