XJTLU Entrepreneur College at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University

After a decade-long exploration, XJTLU has formulated a preliminary yet successful model for cultivating international specialised talents. As a pioneer in the rethinking and reshaping of education, the University proposed Syntegrative Education (SE) in 2016 to respond to the challenges brought about by AI and robotics in the innovation-driven era.

Based on an existing specialised talent cultivating model, SE integrates specialised, industrial and management programmes to deliver international industry experts, with the ability to lead future industry development. Those leaders are highly versatile with the ability to drive the industries of the future.  

Within the Syntegrative Education model at XJTLU Entrepreneur College (Taicang), the internship model uniquely offers students the opportunity to engage with companies and business for 600 hours, evenly spread between three sets of 200 hours, which build on knowledge gained by the students through the academic year.
