    Suzhou Centennial College is the first Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run higher education school with independent legal personality approved by the Jiangsu Provincial Government and filed by the Ministry of Education. The address is located at No.1 Ren'ai Road, Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu Province, China. This is a joint Sino-foreign cooperative education institution established by Suzhou University of Science and Technology and Centennial College of Canada.

Two exclusively and jointly cooperation

    For those who doesn't know Centennial College, E-Canada School will give you a brief introduction. Centennial College is the first public college in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and is currently one of the largest public colleges in Canada. The school offers more than 160 majors, covering business, tourism and hotel, science and engineering, design, transportation, community and health, and other majors. It offers 1-2 year graduate diploma, 2-3 year college advanced diploma and 4 year graduate certificate of undergraduate courses. Therefore, the joint cooperation from Suzhou Centennial College is not only the first Sino-foreign cooperatively-operated higher college education approved by the Chinese government, but the Centennial College is also the only Canadian higher college approved by the Chinese government to have education qualifications in China. These two "exclusively" and "jointly cooperation" are the first in history. Today, Canada and China are vigorously developing international education, setting a new milestone in the internationalization of education. The teaching quality of Suzhou Centennial College is strictly regulated by Canada and it must meet the Canadian teaching standards. Among them, more than two-thirds of the teachers have a master's degree or higher and overseas working experience in order to ensure the quality of teaching. Moreover, all courses are taught in English.

Panamanian government grants students up to $ 3,000 scholarship

    Ever since Panama and China formally established diplomatic relationship in 2017, Juan Carlos Varela, the former president of Panama, has stated that the country needs talent to promote trade, solidarity and diplomacy. Furthermore, Panama agree with the China’s proposal of “One Road” which is an idea of connecting China with markets in Asia, Europe and Africa through infrastructure construction. China is now the second user of the Panama Canal, and Panama is also China's largest trading partner in Central America. As early as March 2018, the Panamanian government funded the first 50 students to study Chinese at Suzhou Centennial College. Suzhou Centennial College, as the educational partner selected by Panama Human Resources Training and Development Institute (IFARHU) plays an important role in this professional training program. In addition, IFARHU has awarded scholarships of up to $ 3,000.00 each to 50 students, of which 30 will study for 12 months at Suzhou Centennial College and another 20 will study for 18 months. This program has extended to other South American countries, where students can also apply for the scholarship and get up to $ 3,000.00 in scholarships from the government.

    The purpose of the IFARHU scholarship is to meet the needs of the professionals in Panama. The goal is to train professionals in science, technology, research, economics, law, finance and other fields. So this Sino-Canadian joint school will not only help students to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge, but also learn languages to strengthen the relations with Asia. Students not only learn Chinese at Suzhou Centennial College, but also learn academic knowledge. This is undoubtedly helping students to achieve comprehensive development. Since many Chinese parents in Panama want their children to learn Chinese culture and language, so this program is definitely a good choice.

Transfer credits to the Centennial College in Canada

    In addition to the above benefits, Suzhou Centennial College also provides undergraduates with the opportunity to continue their studies in Canada. It has established transfer credit cooperation with Canadian universities and colleges. After completing the courses in the Suzhou campus, students can take credits to study in the Canadian college. For example, the three-year advanced diploma course that Student A took, he or she can study the first one or two years of the courses in Suzhou, and then credits earn from the courses can be transferred to the Centennial College at Canada. After graduation, the Suzhou Centennial College’s admission officer can help the students to apply for study permit through the Canadian Embassy in China. In addition, graduated students can apply for a work permit up to 3 years of times period in Canada. The undergraduates can also work as intern at Suzhou. Because Suzhou Centennial College is part of Suzhou Dushu Lake Science and Education Innovation Zone, it has an excellent geographical location and comprehensive industrial companies to ensure that students in China have a unique internship. On the other hand, students can also choose to go back to Panama to develop and bring back the knowledge or new ideas. Finally, the students can also decide to work in Canada to achieve the purpose of immigrating to Canada and in this case, the acceptance rate of getting the Canada visa is high.

    For those parents who are not well off but want to send their children to study in Canada, this program is undoubtedly the best choice. First of all, the consumption in China is lower than Canada. Take the accommodation as an example, the accommodation fee of Suzhou Centennial College is RMB 2,000  per month, while the accommodation fee of Centennial College in Canada is about 650 Canadian dollars per month, if we converting Canadian dollar to the Chinese RMB with current exchange rate, that is about RMB 3460. In addition, although the students are studying in Suzhou, they are indeed taking courses as they were studying in Canada and graduate with Canadian diplomas. Students can also broaden their international vision, get to know students from all over the world and learn the multiculturalism. There are students that come from South Korea, Venezuela, Vietnam, the Philippines, Russia, etc.
