1. The main forms of private universities students' study abroad

1.1 Credit Mutual Recognition Project

The main learning forms are "2+2" and "3+1". During the undergraduate study period， students will have a dual-campus experience. The first stage is to study in domestic undergraduate courses， through the credit recognition program， and the latter stage to study in overseas university. The overseas credits are transferred back to China， and students who successfully graduate can obtain a domestic undergraduate degree and an undergraduate degree from an overseas university， which is usually the inter-university exchange and joint training of the students school.

1.2 Short-term overseas exchange projects

Take the one-semester exchange student program as an example. The universities in the United Kingdom， Australia， the United States， Malaysia and other countries are the main partners. The cost is low and the choice of majors is flexible. Students can study abroad for 3 months according to their own circumstances without obtaining a degree from the other party. For the purpose of increasing their overseas study experience and practice， overseas universities may send a DIPLOMA to students. To conduct the exchange program for students in general， that is， all the courses of both universities are open to students of the partner university， students can go to study for either short term or long term in partner university.

1.3 Study Abroad for Master Degree

After graduating from a bachelor's degree， students can apply for a master's degree program in overseas institutions to improve their academic qualifications and enhance their employment competitiveness. Students can also choose to study for a master's degree abroad when they are studying undergraduate. Some schools have carried out the "3+1" program with the British Universities， and the "3+2" program with the US Universities. It saves one year of time for students to go overseas for master's degree.

Undergraduate students go to overseas universities to study in different forms of education. The time spent studying abroad is directly proportional to the cost of education. After completing a foreign master's program， they can obtain more knowledge and experience， and lay a solid foundation for future academic development.

Among private undergraduate colleges and universities， credit mutual recognition projects and short-term exchange programs are the mainstay. Sino-foreign cooperative education programs are not common in private colleges due to the high application procedures and teaching requirements. Most colleges choose to carry out credit mutual recognition， Short-term exchanges and other forms of inter-school exchanges and cooperation.
