Located in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province and a major hub of transportation in China, Central China Normal University (CCNU) is a key comprehensive university under the direct administration of the Ministry of Education. The picturesque campus of over 1.20 million square meters is nestled on Guizi Hill, bordering South Lake.

Our university is among the first higher institutions in China entitled to offer doctoral and postgraduate degrees, to assess and confer the titles of professor, associate professor and also doctoral supervisor, and has already established a complete and optimized advanced education system ranging from undergraduate to graduate programs, from doctoral to post-doctoral programs, and from full-time to adult-education programs.
We have established close relationships with many key universities and research institutes. Besides, we have conducted school-to-school exchanges and extensive academic cooperation with more than 150 universities from over 70 countries, such as the U.S., Canada, Germany, Japan, Russia, France, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, Vietnam and so forth. Foreign experts and teachers are regularly invited to teach at the university. In recent years, teachers of the university have been constantly sent abroad for further study. A majority of them have returned home and become the backbone in their own teaching and research fields. A good number of them are actively involved in international academic rostrum and have made remarkable contributions to science, technology, culture and education exchanges between China and other nations around the world.
