About Us

China UK Development Centre (CUDC) was established in 2012, marking the 40th anniversary of full diplomatic relations between the UK and China. Since then we have established a range of sustainable partnerships between government and educational institutions of both China and the UK.


CUDC continuously promotes interaction and knowledge sharing between brightest students of the UK and China. Enhancing collaborations between the two countries in areas of education, language and culture will ultimately result in innovations that will transform and improve lives, considering the academic excellence of both nations.


CUDC actively helps to build bridges between the two countries' top universities, opening avenues for cooperation and collaboration in various fields. 

Our Mission

It is our mission to expand partnerships between government and educational institutions between the two countries to increase cooperation and collaboration at all levels. Increased cooperation will secure a sustainable relationship between the UK and China. Collaborations between Chinese and British HEIs can result in an increased progression of ideas and innovations. It is through collaborations and partnerships that we can broaden horizons of young talents from both countries. 

We firmly believe "Insight Inspires Innovation". There's an old Chinese saying: "It's better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books." CUDC helps arrange exchange visits for China-UK students to broaden their horizons, and to experience the East-West differences. These experiences will in turn stimulate their interest to learn each other's language and culture, to feel the diversified histories of civilizations in the world, which will better help them spread their wings in the future and adapt to the sharp competitive environment filled with international talents.
