Flinders University is honoured and proud to be a key international partner of Capital Normal University, with our collaboration having reached its 20-year anniversary and produced more than 800 successful graduates. It represents a truly amazing accomplishment.
The ethos and philosophy of both Flinders University and Capital Normal University is to create life-long partnerships with their students, to help them achieve their academic goals, but also to ensure they are ready for fulfilling careers when they graduate. Our shared long-term success reflects the strong focus that both universities have to develop graduates whose knowledge, skills and attributes meet the needs of the future workforce.
Global collaboration is critical to the future success of both our universities, and collaborative education has given our students the cultural competencies and global perspective required to succeed and create a positive impact in a complex, everchanging world.
Our connections play an important part in fulfilling our vision of being internationally acclaimed universities. Through working closely with both staff and students, Flinders University and Capital Normal University can extend this collaboration further and develop graduates with the highest professional, technological and ethical capacity, so they can contribute significantly to their profession, community and strengthening ties between China and Australia. It will ensure they maintain a strong, long-term affiliation to both our universities.
I would especially like to acknowledge Capital Normal University’s superb 70-year commitment to academic excellence and cultivating talent for the benefit of not only the students and their families, but for the country and the broader region.
Through this journey, some core principals have not changed. When the first students entered Capital Normal University in 1954, we can be certain that their teachers and parents dedicated themselves to developing the talents of those students. Flinders University is equally committed to foster such dedication to educational excellence through our collaboration, nurturing talents for the future, while also creating peace, harmony and prosperity for all the communities that we serve.
It is a partnership that I know will continue to grow in strength and stature, and wish to thank all our colleagues at Capital Normal University for their dedication and commitment to our partnership over these first 20 years.

Our professors gave us the suggestion of how to be successful in education, and through this we remain inspired by the endless possibilities in education that exist for us as teachers – and that we should be aware of the happiness that education brings, because it matters and makes such a difference to people’s lives.

“I want to build a bridge between cultures, because integrating different cultural practices is a crucial learning challenge. My immersion into different cultural backgrounds and education systems has enabled me to understand the difficulties that students face in the joint-program, and I’m proud to say that my contribution has made class communication more effective.”
