About the Institute

History, Vision & Mission

History

The university recognized that it has established strong relationships and cooperative agreements with many universities in China. A large number of Chinese students have also shown interest in pursuing their studies at the university. In addition, the university has offered Chinese language programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels for more than 20 years, and Chinese is considered one of the widely used languages within the ASEAN community.

Therefore, the university saw a valuable opportunity to establish a Confucius Institute within the university. Initially, a cooperation agreement was signed with the Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban) on 18 September 2014 to establish the Confucius Institute at Assumption University. Subsequently, on 12 November 2014, Assumption University and Tianjin University of Science and Technology jointly signed a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate in the establishment and operation of the Confucius Institute at Assumption University.
