Sino-US joint venture is planning to attract high quality undergraduates from around the world
The leading Sino-US joint-venture university in China wants to attract more international students and will begin accepting applications this month for its new undergraduate degree program for fall 2018.
Close to Shanghai and in the heart of the Yangtze River Delta region, China's major economic hub, Duke Kunshan University is a collaborative venture between Duke University, which is consistently ranked among the top 10 universities in the United States, and Wuhan University in China.
Duke Kunshan University is "committed to bringing together a diverse cohort of high-quality students from across the world", says Denis Simon, its executive vice-chancellor.
