University of Nottingham Ningbo China

The University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) was established in 2004 with the full approval of the Chinese Ministry of Education, becoming the first Sino-foreign university to open its doors in the People ’s Republic of China. UNNC offers the best of both worlds – students have the opportunity to live and study in China, while studying at a campus where the first language is English. UNNC’s mission statement is: “Academic excellence in the service of global citizenship”.
