Dear friends, Welcome to the homepage of the Office of International Cooperation & Exchange of Beijing Jiaotong University. BJTU is one of the five Jiaotong (or Chiao-Tung) universities in China. The word "Jiaotong", which once simply meant "communications" in Chinese, has now already matured into the quintet's trademark of origin, history, quality and value. Our international office has benefited enormously from this trademark effect and been enjoying active international involvement. Located in Beijing, China's cultural, political and entrepreneurial center, BJTU offers her international partners and students the most desirable combination of the distinct culture and the metropolitan dynamism of the fastest developing country in the world. We look forward to seeing you soon in Beijing. News: US Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao speaks at Beijing Jiaotong University On Augst 26, 2008, US Secretary of Labor Elaine L.
