A partnership between University of Nottingham, CIEF and Fudan Uni with 15 years of expertise in teaching Mandarin and enhancing Sino-UK cultural links.

Confucius Institutes are established throughout the world to promote the teaching of the Chinese language and Chinese culture in the world. The Nottingham Confucius Institute was officially launched on 27 September 2007, upon the signing of the Confucius Institute agreement between The University of Nottingham and the Office of Chinese Language Council International. The Nottingham Confucius Insti

tute is located at the Si Yuan Centre of the University's Jubilee Campus. The Nottingham Confucius Institute offers courses to members of the public and organises various events to promote the understanding of the Chinese language and culture, both locally and nationally. It does so by drawing upon the expertise and resources of the sponsoring institutions, The University of Nottingham and its partner institution, Fudan University of Shanghai.
