This has laid a solid foundation for further cooperation and win-win cooperation between the two schools. China is building a high level university and first-class disciplines, and actively expanding international exchanges and cooperation. The establishment of the Penang postgraduate teaching center is a new way for Normal University of China to explore the internationalization of postgraduate education, and will further expand the international influence of postgraduate education of normal universities of China.
