OPP exists to promote international outreach, exchange and collaboration. We achieve this by:

• facilitating exchange visits overseas by academics and students from Oxford and elsewhere, e.g. a visit from Jesus College Oxford to universities in Shanghai and the Looking China programme
• hosting overseas academics and academic leaders and organising lectures and meetings for them in Oxford, e.g. university visits by the President of Beijing Foreign Studies University, the President of Guandong University of Foreign Studies and the Vice President of Tongji University, and a culture forum during President Xi Jinping's 2015 state visit to the UK
• running short courses in Oxford for overseas university students, university counselling and pastoral staff, clinical staff and others
• working with colleges at Oxford to facilitate applications for visiting studentships from Chinese universities
• promoting the idea of international academic and cultural exchange as an important goal
• working with philanthropists who share our passion for cross-cultural communication.

At the heart of all our activities is our commitment to academic and professional excellence.
