Changchun Guanghua University is located in Changchun, the capital city of Jilin Province. Founded in 2000, it is a demonstration university for transformation and development in Jilin Province, a model university for undergraduate talent cultivation reform in Jilin Province and a university under development for granting master’s professional degrees. In the 2025 CUAA Ranking of Chinese Private Universities (Category II), CGU ranked the tenth, maintaining its status as one of China’s Top Application-oriented Universities for five consecutive years.

In line with this vision, CGU places great emphasis on international cooperation and exchange. In recent years, the University has established partnerships with a number of leading institutions worldwide, for instance, Edinburgh Napier University (United Kingdom), Hallym University (South Korea), and East Siberia State University of Technology and Management (Russia). These collaborations encompass staff training, student mobility, joint research, and overseas study programmes, all of which have significantly strengthened the University’s internationalisation agenda.
