Based on Sino-foreign cooperation in education, the School, a subordinate teaching unit, was established for Chinese-foreign collaboration as well as international students education and administration.

Adhering to the motto of HBAFA—“be confident, be independent, and be first”, the School, implementing openness, is to cultivate more high-level artistic talents with international vision, innovative awareness, foreign languages proficiency and comprehensive abilities so as to stimulate the advance of international education and communication, and contribute to the construction of economy and culture.

The School is mainly responsible for international communication and cooperation as well as teaching in HBAFA. It not only provides students with distinctive resources and teachers in China and beyond, but also promotes communication in education and culture between China and other countries, which benefits teaching and research in the meantime.

Currently, there are some international cooperation programs, which are straight entrance programs from junior college students to undergraduates between China and Korea, from undergraduates to graduates between China and Korea, from junior college students, undergraduates to graduates between China and UK, and from undergraduates to graduates between China and Italy. The School will seek more partners to cooperate in international education in line with the development of the School.

In order to improve students’ competitiveness in job market, expand employment channels and meet students’ demand for further study, the School provides many options, which students can select based on their personal situations.
