Since the establishment of the International Union College on the Nanhai campus, the School of Software has closely followed the school's strategy of the internationalization, and has actively deepened communication and exchange with famous universities around the world, such as the University of Aberdeen, Plymouth University, and Curtin University in Australia. The School of Software aims to excel in joint Sino-foreign cooperative education, and strives to raise the internationalization level of the university's talent training. It intends to make due contributions to the school's efforts at creating a high-quality talent team, conducting high-quality scientific research and innovation, while vigorously promoting internationalization, and further promoting informationization, thus fulfilling the school’s "double first-class" development strategy.
