Each academic year at Chengdu University of Technology (CDUT) is divided into two semesters: autumn and spring. The autumn semester typically starts in early September and ends in mid-January of the following year, while the spring semester generally begins in late February and concludes in mid-July. Please refer to the university’s official academic calendar for specific dates.

II. Program Overview

CDUT offers an undergraduate program for international students in collaboration with Oxford Brookes University, with all courses taught in English. The standard duration of study is four years. Students who meet the program’s requirements and successfully defend their thesis will be awarded a graduation certificate and a bachelor’s degree.

In the first year, students will undertake an international foundation program designed to enhance their English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, as well as develop academic competencies required by UK universities, such as research, academic writing, teamwork, and time management. During this period, students are expected to engage in pre-class preparation and post-class review in line with the teaching schedule and arrange one-on-one consultations with instructors for resolving any difficulties. Upon successfully completing the foundation program, students will progress to the professional course phase.
