Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University

Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) is an international joint venture university founded by Xi’an Jiaotong University in China and the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. As an independent Sino-foreign cooperative university, it captures the essence of both prestigious parent universities and is the first and only one of its kind approved by the Ministry of Education in China. We combine the best of east and west to offer you a unique educational experience that prepares you to be a future leader.

Our location in Suzhou Industrial Park, China’s equivalent of Silicon Valley and a hub of global innovation, means our students have numerous internship opportunities and access to job positions.

All our degree programmes are taught 100 percent in English, with a focus on critical thinking and independent learning – key skills needed in the workplace. At XJTLU you will be taught how to acquire and create new knowledge and apply it to real-world scenarios.

By May 2020, our global community of more than 17,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students (around 3,500 of whom are studying at the University of Liverpool through the 2+2 programme), and over 920 academic staff from 50 countries/rigions is continually growing, offering you the chance to make connections with people from across the world.

Our graduates’ ambitions and aspirations take them all over the world into jobs and further study. Some progress onto further education at top global institutions (In 2019, 86.50 percent of graduates planned to continue their studies in world-renowned universities), while others get jobs with major companies around the world.

At XJTLU you will find an international community of learners in the heart of China’s ongoing economic success story and opportunities found nowhere else on Earth.

You are the future entrepreneur, scientist, architect, engineer, diplomat, researcher, educator or executive in our increasingly global environment. You have a desire to understand other cultures and become a citizen of the world. We want you.
