Zhongqiao University has always encouraged students to actively participate in international competitions to learn from other overseas universities and to better present themselves to the outside world through international competitions. The School of Arts has always promoted the concept of innovation and the spirit of humanism. When participating in the Sands Art and Design Competition in China, our students and faculty won one silver medal and five bronze medals among the 4,458 works selected by 2,680 participants from 51 universities. This award not only reflects the comprehensive strength and teaching achievements of the School of Arts, but also comprehensively enhances the educational level of Zhongqiao University in art and design, and makes a full display of Chinese university’s art education on the world stage.
Students from the School of Architecture and Engineering won three individual awards in the civil engineering and one excellent organization award in the landscape engineering technology in the 12th Yuanye Award International Competition held in September 2021. The competition is an international design competition for domestic and foreign universities and enterprises specializing in architecture, planning, landscape and environmental design, aiming to discover and honor outstanding designers and design works, enhance the creativity and influence of global designers, and promote the international exchange and future development of the industry. The participation of this competition not only promotes the specialty construction and curriculum reform of the university, but also stimulates students' learning enthusiasm and creativity, and enhances their professional skills and innovation spirit (see Table 3 for details).
