University of Exeter and Zhejiang University of Technology
A global education in China
Through our Joint Education Institute with Zhejiang University of Technology (ZJUT), students can now access a globally recognised University of Exeter education in China.
Our partnership
We are working together to expand access to high-quality global education in China. As our first global education partnership, the Joint Education Institute (ZJUT-Exeter Joint Institute) combines the academic excellence and international outlook of an Exeter degree with ZJUT's local expertise, creating accessible pathways to a high-quality, future-focused education.
Students benefit from internationally recognised teaching and research, global perspectives, and a learning experience that prepares them for success in an increasingly connected world.
This partnership forms part of our growing global education portfolio and reflects our commitment to widening access to high-quality education through international collaboration.
An international education
Students will study through a collaborative model that combines the strengths of Exeter and ZJUT, delivering an internationally recognised education with high-quality teaching, research-informed learning and global perspectives, underpinned by Exeter's reputation as a Russell Group and global top 150 university.
Global learning experience
Students gain international perspectives, global opportunities and the strengths of two leading universities while studying in a supportive local environment in China. The partnership offers access to international teaching, global networks and a community of like-minded students.
Future career success
Our programmes are focused on industry-connected learning, in-demand skills and future career opportunities. Students develop the knowledge, skills and global perspective needed to succeed in China and around the world, with learning connected to high-growth disciplines, innovation and technology.
