In 2023, Shizhen College of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the China Education Ministry’s Study Abroad Service Center, in collaboration with KAWAS International Education, established an educational partnership to create the KAWAS International Program Center for studying abroad. Shizhen College is responsible for managing the program, leveraging its high-quality educational resources and adopting international advanced teaching models. The goal is to provide comprehensive teaching and services to ensure students’ successful study abroad experience. KAWAS International offers policy guidance and related services for the overseas study programs. **Training Model:** Full-time, with at least 1 year or more of domestic study and at least 2 years or more of overseas study. **Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education - Majors and Duration:** - Traditional Chinese Medicine: 2+4 (2 years domestic, 4 years abroad) - Physical Therapy: 2+3 (2 years domestic, 3 years abroad) **Teaching Model and Graduation Certificate:** Each class has around 30 students, with interactive teaching and bilingual instruction. Students will study for at least 1-2 years at the International Education College of Shizhen College, Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The overseas partner universities may grant exemptions for certain course credits (up to one-third of the total overseas credits). After completing the domestic courses and passing the required language proficiency exams, students can continue their studies at the overseas university, complete the remaining courses, and obtain a bachelor's or master's degree from the foreign institution. **Note:** - Clinical Medicine/Oral Medicine majors require at least 5-6 years of overseas study to complete the degree courses and earn an expert-level qualification (equivalent to a domestic master’s degree). - Upon returning to China, students in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Clinical Medicine, or Oral Medicine can only take the Assistant Doctor or Practitioner Doctor examination after completing one year of internship at a top-tier hospital . - Those holding graduate degrees in medical-related fields or clinical practitioners must undergo three years of standardized national medical training before they are eligible to sit for the residency exam. **Program Advantages:** 1. **Official Education:** The program is supervised by KAWAS International, ensuring that students' admission qualifications, academic records, curriculum, teaching quality, and assessments comply with the standards of both the Chinese and foreign partner institutions. Upon completion, students will receive internationally recognized degree certificates. 2. **Credit Recognition:** Under international academic standards, the courses are guided by foreign partner universities, ensuring that the courses students complete are recognized by overseas institutions and allowing for credit exemptions, thereby easing the process of completing their studies. 3. **Direct Access to Prestigious Universities:** We have established partnerships with five top universities in five countries, offering students a direct pathway to prestigious institutions, helping them achieve their dreams of studying on the global stage. 4. **Innovative Teaching:** The program employs international teaching concepts and innovative teaching models, implementing small class sizes, emphasizing personalized development, and strictly controlling teaching quality to ensure that students receive the highest quality education experience. 5. **One-Stop Service:** We provide personalized study abroad plans that cover consultation, registration, school applications, visa counseling, and other comprehensive services, ensuring a smooth and worry-free study abroad experience for students. 6. **Cost-Effective:** Compared to studying abroad directly, this international education program significantly reduces tuition and living costs. Students can receive credit exemptions from foreign universities during their domestic studies, reducing both the time and costs of studying abroad. **Target Students and Admission Requirements:** 1. **Target Students:** Graduates from regular high schools, vocational high schools, or international high schools. 2. **Admission Requirements:** Students must pass the college entrance examination (written test and interview). 3. **Exemptions from the written test for those who meet one of the following conditions:** - The total score of the college entrance exam meets the local undergraduate admission score threshold. - A score of 90 or above in the English subject of the college entrance exam. - An IELTS score of 5.0 or a TOEFL score of 55 or above.
