Our partners

The Confucius Institute at the University of Newcastle was established and is proudly supported by our three Foundational Partners – the University of Newcastle (Australia), Central China Normal University (Wuhan) and Hanban - the Office of Chinese Language Council International (Beijing). The Institute also maintains a highly valued network of collaborative partners with whom we work to further our common goals. We are proud to be associated with a wide network of outstanding organisations dedicated to similar goals and aspirations.
