AIU is discussing the attraction of international students with Beijing Glen International Education Technology Co., Ltd

How can AIU increase the number of international students and make its education more accessible to students from other countries? These questions were central to the meeting with representatives of Beijing Glen International Education Technology Co., Ltd., one of China's largest educational companies.

The company's CEO, Qiao Hongtao (乔红涛), noted that China has a restriction on the number of international students—each university cannot have more than 10% of its total student body as foreigners. This creates high competition for study places within the country, while the demand for overseas education continues to grow. In this context, AIU is seen as a promising partner capable of offering high-quality educational programs for students from China.

During the meeting, specific steps were discussed to attract more Chinese students to AIU. High-demand fields such as IT, international relations, and English, along with new programs launching in September, were considered. The discussion also covered mechanisms for cooperation with Chinese educational companies and universities that could help AIU reach a broader international audience.

Additionally, joint academic initiatives such as dual-degree programs and student exchange opportunities were explored. Special interest was shown in educational programs supported by businesses, as well as scholarship options that could make studying at AIU more accessible for students.

AIU and Beijing Glen agreed to continue their collaboration to strengthen the university’s international presence and create attractive conditions for foreign students. In the near future, practical steps will be taken to expand student enrollment from China and develop joint educational initiatives.
