Hainan Franco-Chinese Institute, developed in partnership with the Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU).

Hainan now occupies a key position in China’s policy of opening-up. With the development of the Hainan Free Trade Port, the island is becoming a strategic platform for both academic and economic exchange.

Its objectives are clear:

  • to strengthen cooperation between Chinese and foreign universities,
  • to attract international talent,
  • to develop new pedagogical models.

This innovative environment provides students and academic staff from Clermont School of Business with a modern international setting, supported by forward-thinking policies in mobility, research and innovation.

"The Hainan Franco-Chinese Institute represents a major strategic milestone for Clermont School of Business. Developed with BLCU as part of a long-term partnership, it embodies a structured academic collaboration built on trust and co-creation. This initiative enables our students to engage directly with China’s economic dynamics—close to its markets, innovations and local ecosystems—while benefiting from a fully integrated Franco-Chinese academic framework. Through this campus, Clermont School of Business reaffirms its ambition to train talents capable of navigating complex, multicultural environments and contributing actively to the strengthening of Franco-Chinese relations."
