Tiens Group invites top design firms all over the world to participate the planning and design program for the Tiens International University in Tianjin, and help upgrade the current Tiens University to an international university.
Â
Li Jinyuan, the group's chairman, expected "the world's masters of design to bring the international standard to the university, so the new international university may begin from a higher starting point with stricter requirements."
Â
The planned 2.1-million-sq-m Tiens International University, in Wuqing district, Tianjin, will offer undergraduate and postgraduate education. A comprehensive education town is planned around it with primary school, high schools and pre-university education.
Â
Li believes that "development of an enterprise relies on talents, talents rely on education." Establishing a high-level international university is deeply rooted in his dream.
Â
Tiens International University will take advanced educational philosophy as its guide and implement a flexible educational system and full credit system. All the main courses will adopt an English or bilingual lecturing system.
