A MESSAGE FROM DR. CRAIG STEPHENSON,

President & CEO, Centennial College

Suzhou Centennial College

  For those of you contemplating enrolling at Suzhou Centennial College (SCC), this could be your opportunity to embark on an extraordinary learning journey – a journey filled with life-changing opportunities and the potential to make a real difference in your own life and that of your family and community.

  Words that I do not share lightly and, for me, are grounded in the fact that:

  • SCC is the first and only Canadian institution registered and approved by the Chinese government to deliver Canadian postsecondary programs and confer Canadian diplomas in China. Not only do we offer a Canadian education in China, but one that is located in the epicentre of technological development, innovation, and digital transformation.

  • Students based in Suzhou have a competitive advantage. Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP), where Suzhou Centennial College (SCC) is located, has attracted close to 5,000 foreign-invested enterprises, including 86 Fortune and 500 multinational companies, and more than 18,000 domestic companies. Moreover, SCC truly leverages the location and ensures students are highly connected to Suzhou Industrial Park via workshops, seminars, company visits, and coveted industry placements.

  • Employment skills are central to every program taught at SCC. Experiential learning is a hallmark of the Centennial experience. In combination with career-focused technical and professional training, SCC students develop highly-valued critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills.

  • We have an incredibly diverse and dynamic student population at SCC, with students enrolling from China, Panama, South Korea, India, Mongolia, and beyond.  Once in class, you can immerse yourself in deepening your subject knowledge, skills, and worldview, and by adopting a global mindset and developing an intercultural understanding – key competencies sought by today’s employers.

  • While at SCC, quality is assured. In only its second year of operation, SCC received an Education Excellence Award from the Canada China Business Council (CCBC). Award-winning SCC faculty, who are educated globally and have extensive industry experience, teach to Ontario College program standards and quality assurance benchmarks.

  • Your education does not need to end with SCC. On the contrary, if you wish to progress further, you can enroll at one of our campuses in Toronto, Canada, or one of our partner universities in Canada or China, and pursue pathways in o degree programs, including Bachelors of Business Administration, Science, and Commerce.

  As you can see, the reasons for enrolling at Suzhou Centennial are many and varied!

   From Suzhou to Toronto, our shared commitment to the transformative power of education transcends languages and borders. Suzhou Centennial College offers an unparalleled learning experience that will nurture, inspire, and enable you to play a vital role in the rejuvenation of our communities, nations and the planet as a whole.

  Please do consider Suzhou Centennial College. We very much look forward to welcoming you, learning alongside you, and preparing you for the world that awaits.
