Asia University (AU) aspires to become a prestigious international university.

In order to better serve and care for our fast growing number of international students, AU established its International College in August, 2010. This College provides a friendly living and learning environment and helps coordinate and integrate on-campus teaching and research resources for our international students. This College also supervises quality of AU’s 30 English-medium international programs (as of 2021) for both graduate and undergraduate students. In addition, it offers various CEFR levels of Mandarin Chinese courses to meet the needs of our international students for their academic studies and daily life. It also works together with AU’s academic Colleges to create and offer summer programs for the visiting international students of AU’s partner universities around the globe.
