I. Program Introduction

Since 2016, Yellow River Conservancy Technical University (YRCTU) and South Ural State University (SUSU) have jointly launched cooperative programs in Road and Bridge Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Inspection Technology, Environmental Art Design, and Mechanical Design and Manufacturing. These programs are included in China’s national enrollment plan for regular higher vocational education. Through diversified collaboration models such as joint cultivation and framework cooperation, YRCTU continues to advance high-level, forward-looking international educational partnerships. We are committed to nurturing high-quality talents with global vision and international competitiveness, providing robust support for national strategies and regional development.

Teaching Model: A curriculum system combining "Russian Oral Language + Bilingual (Chinese-Russian) Professional Courses," delivered jointly by Russian and Chinese faculty.

Study Model: Students who complete all required credits and meet the graduation criteria of YRCTU will receive a Chinese regular higher vocational education diploma. Those who fulfill the requirements of SUSU may opt for a one-year exchange program at the institution during their third academic year.

II. Advantages of the Program

The Road and Bridge Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Inspection Technology, Environmental Art Design, and Mechanical Design and Manufacturing programs at Yellow River Conservancy Technical University are all flagship disciplines, supported by a strong faculty and recognized for their first-class teaching standards and talent development quality in China. Similarly, South Ural State University in Russia boasts outstanding strengths in these programs, with abundant teaching resources and talent cultivation standards that align with international norms. By strategically aligning their respective strengths, the two universities effectively integrate and complement high-quality educational resources, jointly ensuring the cultivation of highly skilled, globally competitive technical professionals.
