United International College (UIC; simplified Chinese: 联合国际学院; traditional Chinese: 聯合國際學院) located in the Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, southern China, was co-founded by Beijing Normal University and Hong Kong Baptist University as the first full-scale cooperation in higher education between Mainland China and Hong Kong. The university's charter was approved by the Ministry of Education and was supported by local authorities, while its stated mission was to build a new model for liberal education in China and to nurture talented future graduates with international perspectives.
UIC has its stated mission of advancing the internationalization of Chinese higher education and taking the lead in implementing liberal arts education in China. Since its first enrollment in 2005, UIC has grown into an international institution with educational approaches new to mainland China.Twenty undergraduate programs are currently being offered by three divisions: namely, the Division of Business and Management, the Division of Humanities and Social Science, and the Division of Science and Technology. UIC has extended its enrollment of Category 1 candidates from more than 20 provinces and municipalities. There are approximately 5000 students now, including those from Hong Kong, Macau and overseas. Teaching staff from more than 20 countries and regions make it possible for UIC to use English as the medium of instruction. Graduates will be awarded bachelor's degrees by HKBU and Graduation Certificates by UIC.
UIC developed an innovative Four-Point Education Model that unites the forces of the college, the students, the parents and society for the delivery of education programs.
On 1 March 2003, The State Council of the People’s Republic of China established the Regulations on Chinese-Foreign Cooperation in Running Schools. This provided for joint ventures to run schools coming from Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR or Taiwan in concert with mainland educational institutions.
Prof Ng Ching-Fai, President and Vice-Chancellor of Hong Kong Baptist University, and Prof Zhong Binglin, President of Beijing Normal University, signed a cooperation agreement between the two universities to establish a higher education institution on 20 June 2003.
