The Queen Mary Confucius Institute, a collaboration between Queen Mary University of London and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), aims to expand global opportunities for students, staff and the local communities of each university, by strengthening educational exchanges, teaching Mandarin Chinese language, assessing Chinese language proficiency, and by developing inter-cultural awareness through hosting Chinese cultural events.
The Institute operates with support from its Chinese partner university and the Centre for Language Education and Co-operation.
