We have established several industry-university-research centers with local government, institutions and industry giants, including a research center for Intelligent Fashion Pattern Making supported by China Textile Engineering Society, a testing center for Textile Industries in Changshu, a service platform for Industrial Design on Household Hardware, a research center for Suzhou Fashion IE Technology, a public service platform for Changshu Textile and Fashion Industries Collaborative Innovation and a Collaborative Innovation Center for Fashion Design Technology. All of these are 24 hours available to the students and faculties.
The school is committed to proactively exploring ways of collaboration with local government, enterprises, and public institutions, in order to serving local economic development. Supporting the idea of industry schools, our school have signed an agreement with CNTAC Testing Center to collaboratively cultivate specialized talents in early 2018. And China Textile Engineering Society School was co-established in 2019.
In recent years, the school is actively developing international partnerships to explore a new way of talents cultivation. We focus on collaborative programs for both students and faculties with Birmingham City University, University of Cumbria, University for Creative Arts, Liverpool John Moores University (Britain), and Tashkent Institute of Textile and Light Industry (Uzbekistan).
Keeping close contacts with local industries, we redesign our subjects and majors in accordance with the local economic development. We devote to breeding students’ basic skills and innovative abilities, improving subject development and social service ability so as to provide talents as well as technical support to local industries for their upgrading and transformation. We have been upgrading and optimizing our courses constantly by involving the idea of innovation and entrepreneurship in our education. The purpose is to breed graduates who can quickly adapt and survive in their professional career.
