In order to adapt to the globalization of higher education, Tongling University has carried out various projects aimed at international exchange and cooperation and officially established cooperative relations with universities in the U.S, UK, Argentina, Australia and Taiwan district in China. It has also established Anhui Spanish Training Center in collaboration with University of Buenos Aires in Argentina.
The university has always been holding to “development” as its key task, and has further specified its target and route for development. We uphold the target of building the university into an application-oriented higher provider of high teaching quality and peculiar characteristics. With respect to the target, we insist on a development from inside out and an orientation of market and social demand. We deepen the reform on teaching mode by drawing strengths from colleges and universities at home and abroad, so as to cultivate high-talented personnel with practical abilities and innovative spirits. Upholding the principle of open-ended education, we take the facilitation of local economy and the construction of an overall development of society as our responsibility. We take initiative to carry out cooperative projects between the university and the local government, the university and local enterprises, and the university and its counterparts, so as to build the university into a place with “four centers” and “four bases”. (The “four centers” means to develop the university into a consultative center for local governmental decision, a center of cooperation between production, teaching and research in the local area, a center of talents cultivation and personnel training, and a center of local culture and education. The “four bases” means, in cooperation with local government and public institutions, we strive to build the university into a base for education, a base for research, a base for employment of graduates and a base for probation and practice.) Meanwhile we provide postgraduate education in collaboration with Hefei University of Technology and Anhui Finance& Economics University. As the initiator of the project Alliance of Anhui Application-oriented Universities, the university has been playing an important role in promoting the exchange and sharing of highly qualified teaching and education resources among the universities in alliance. In the course of university construction, the education quality has been raised, the capability of social contribution improved and the reputation in the educational arena enhanced. In the year of 2009, our recruitment bottom line for arts and science students are 510 and 535 points, 9 and 15 points higher than the lines of second-class university in Anhui province. In the year of 2010, our recruitment bottom line for arts and science students are 545 and 529, 11 and 22 points higher than the lines of second-class university in Anhui province. As for the employment of graduates, the employment rate has registered more than 95% since the year of 2006. It has been highly praised for 2 consecutive years because of its great achievement in graduate employment. In 2009 it was approved as one of the provincial application-oriented model university construction centers.
