We aim to share an understanding of China and Mandarin Chinese to the North West. We offer Mandarin language classes and a variety of cultural classes to students and staff, the local community, local schools and businesses.

Celebrating 15 years of Lancaster University Confucius Institute

The Institute first opened its doors on 20th December 2011 as a result of a successful partnership between Lancaster University and South China University of Technology in Guangzhou.

We work with students, staff, schools, businesses and local communities, acting as a focal point for China-related activities in Lancaster and the wider Northwest region, from Carlisle in Cumbria to Blackpool on the Fylde coast.

This year we will be celebrating our anniversary with a range of events, beginning with a visit from students and staff of South China University of Technology in Guangzhou, who will be performing music, dance and poetry.
