The Confucius Institute for Scotland at the University of Edinburgh

About Us

The Confucius Institute for Scotland in the University of Edinburgh is a national centre to promote educational, economic, and cultural ties between Scotland and China.

Set up with Sino-Scottish government backing and partnered with Fudan University in Shanghai, the centre is one of almost 300 established under the auspices of Hanban - the Chinese government department responsible for promotion of Chinese language overseas.

In December 2008, the Institute received the accolade 'Confucius Institute of the Year'; the second time such an honour has been given to the Confucius Institute for Scotland.
