The ZJU-UIUC Institute at the Zhejiang University International Campus in Haining specializes in delivering world-class engineering education through a strategic partnership with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Grainger College of Engineering. This single-campus institute focuses on undergraduate dual-degree programs, granting students both a Bachelor of Science from UIUC and a Bachelor of Engineering from ZJU. All courses are taught in English, following top-ranked UIUC curricula (Civil Engineering #2, Computer Engineering #4, Electrical #5, Mechanical #5 in the US, ABET-accredited). The academic emphasis is on interdisciplinary convergence, research training, practical innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, and global perspectives, with hands-on projects, internships starting from year one, and a student-faculty ratio of 8:1 or better. State-of-the-art labs, interactive classrooms, and cross-cultural exchanges enhance learning.
