Partnership with Loyola University Language Center

Once again Mandarin Centers has partnered with the Language Center of Loyola University of Andalusia (Spain) to add specific Mandarin Chinese courses to its extensive language training offerings. Loyola University, always committed to dialogue and different cultures, has always aspired to be recognized for its academic and research excellence, to create knowledge about the problems and needs of today’s world, and to train men and women committed to the development of a more just and sustainable society. With their firm commitment to Mandarin Chinese language training, they offer their students the opportunity to complete their training in a language that is becoming increasingly common in the business world. China’s geopolitical position and the development and expansion of its companies around the world have made the mastery of Chinese a necessity in an interconnected world. The clear international vocation of Loyola University is further enhanced by the fact that it is part of the International Association of Jesuit Universities, the group of universities founded by the Society of Jesus throughout the world. In Latin America alone there are more than 25 member universities in the main countries of the world: Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Brazil, etc. (https://iaju.org/region/AUSJAL ).
