Jilin University – Lambton College (JULC) was established in 1999 as a Sino–foreign education institute
co-operated between Jilin University, which is the largest university and one of the top ten universities in
China, and four North American Colleges / Universities. JULC offers North American undergraduate
education, and produces well-rounded graduates in the fields of Business Administration and
Information Technology. The four North American partners are Northwood University in the United
States, and Lambton College, Memorial University of Newfoundland, and The College of the North
Atlantic in Canada.
JULC was one of the first Sino-foreign cooperation institutions officially approved by Ministry of
Education of China, and ranks among the top ten Sino-foreign higher–level educational co-operative
institutes in China. Here at JULC, we follow the curricula of our partner universities & colleges.
Coursework in the field of Business Administration involves a three-year diploma from Lambton College,
culminating in a one-year BBA degree from Northwood University. Coursework in the field of Information
Technology involves a three-year diploma from the College of the North Atlantic, culminating in a one
year degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland. Students are awarded both the degree and the
diploma after their successful completion of four years of study. Coursework is mainly taught in English
by suitably qualified teachers and professors. Students can complete all their undergraduate studies in
China, or choose to transfer to our North American partner universities / colleges during their studies.
Changchun is the provincial capital of Jilin province in the beautiful northeast of China. Close to Russia,
Mongolia and Korea, it is a great launching point for travelers. Beijing is just 4 hours by train or about an
hour and a half by plane. In spite of a growing population of nearly 8 million, the people in Changchun
are extremely friendly. Moreover, it is very safe for foreign teachers and a great place to live and work.
The air is refreshingly clean and the low cost of living means teachers can enjoy a comfortable
lifestyle. There are plenty of green spaces and parks; with Nanhu Park in the centre of the city,
Changchun World Sculpture Park in the south, and Jingyuetan Park, the largest man-made
forest park in Asia, Changchun deserves being listed as one of China’s “National Garden Cities".
Outdoors enthusiasts can go skiing, snowboarding or skating in winter. Changchun is also famous for
being the last home of Pu Yi, the last Emperor of China.
