Formal Higher Education
Relying on Neusoft's robust industrial heritage and technical resource advantages, since 2000 we have established three IT application-oriented undergraduate universities in Dalian, Liaoning; Chengdu, Sichuan; and Foshan, Guangdong. These institutions were founded with new institutional mechanisms and high starting points to ensure exceptional standards. Throughout the years, Neusoft Education Technology has consistently adhered to the educational philosophy of "education creates student value." We have built an application-oriented school system that integrates production and education while fostering a cooperative mechanism between schools and enterprises for mutual benefit. Our innovative TOPCARES integrated talent training model has been successfully implemented. Moreover, Neuedu has developed a nationally renowned SOVO innovation and entrepreneurship education system with distinctive Neusoft characteristics. In addition to this, we have established five major clusters in the field of "IT+ digital media + health care". To date, a total of 25 majors have been selected as part of the Ministry of Education's prestigious "Double 10,000 Plan" for constructing first-class undergraduate programs. Among these majors are eight national first-class undergraduate construction sites—a remarkable achievement that positions us as a leading private university nationwide. Furthermore, our dedication to excellence is evident through more than 80 teaching achievement awards approved at provincial level or above—including four national teaching achievement awards. Currently enrolling nearly 57,000 full-time college students across our three campuses, we take pride in having transferred over 162,000 applied talents into society—making significant contributions towards advancing China's digital technology-related industries.

We offer specialized courses in three key areas: "AI and artistic creation," "health and rehabilitation," and "spiritual health travel." Through these carefully curated programs, we assist the elderly in rebuilding their lives in the digital age, boosting self-confidence, fostering new friendships, and promoting overall well-being. Additionally, we have developed a convenient and intelligent mobile learning platform called Neusoft Phoenix College online exclusively for our elderly students. This innovative approach combines both online and offline education methods to create a groundbreaking model for senior citizen education. Currently, we offer 18 integrated online courses across four dimensions: "digital literacy," "elegant living," "physical and mental health," as well as "family education." These courses consist of 309 classes with a total duration of 5330 minutes.
Additionally, we have established a comprehensive industrial framework in the medical and healthcare sectors, encompassing Neusoft Education's affiliated hospitals, traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, health management centers, nursing homes, as well as high-end health tourism hotels and other valuable resources within the medical and nursing industry.
