Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College (YWICC) grew out of the Yiwu campus of Hangzhou University, founded in 1993. YWICC is the major center for higher vocational education in the city of Yiwu, and there are currently over 12,000 students on its 160-acre campus. The College is divided into 9 departments, providing a wide range of courses in fields such as humanities, engineering, foreign studies, social sciences, and business management.
Since the beginning of the program in 2007, over 10,000 international students from more than 100 countries have studied at the School. YWICC has been rated as Top 50 among the vocational colleges in China in terms of international influence.
Two types of study programs are available for international students. The first one is the Chinese language program, in which students study the Chinese language and practice their skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Relevant classes on Chinese culture are also offered, and students can take the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK), or the Chinese Proficiency Test, held right at the school four times a year to examine their achievements in the language program.
For those who are already proficient with the Chinese language and fulfill the proficiency requirement of HSK level 4 or higher, they can choose the academic program to acquire professional knowledge and skills for their future career. Students enrolled in this program can take the various types of courses offered at the nine faculties of YWICC mentioned above. The program particularly emphasizes courses on an overview of the Chinese society, as well as knowledge and skills on e-commerce and international trade, all of which are crucial to achieving success in a city of trade like Yiwu. A full-length academic program of three years begins in every September.
