With the rapid development of the University, and in line with the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as the accelerated development of the Greater Bay Area, the University attaches more importance to the cultivation of local talents. To be in line with the development of the University, the School of Liberal Arts was officially established in March 2020. Liberal arts education is a reform of the traditional higher education training model, which has become the consensus of the current global higher education. Its goal is to train students not only in having a broad knowledge base, an interdisciplinary vision, the ability to analyze and solve problems with a clear career development field and direction, but most importantly, with a sound personality and noble morale. In the era of globalization, liberal arts education pays more attention to the cultivation of first-rate talents with cross-cultural communication and cooperation skills, an innovative consciousness, and deftness towards lifelong learning.
SLA provides quality degree programs for full-time and working students, and will offer more diversified diplomas and bachelor's degree programs in the future. It has strong synergy and cooperation with various faculties within the University, and is also actively developing cooperation with internationally renowned institutions, in an effort to create more opportunities for students to participate in inter-university and international learning and exchange programs. The School has launched the Bachelor of Commerce degree program and the Bachelor of Leisure Management degree program, and has signed a cooperation agreement with the University of Reading in the United Kingdom to provide students with the opportunity to obtain two bachelor's degrees in four years. Both programs welcome local, Mainland-China students as well as international students to apply.
