About the University

DUFE serves as a multidisciplinary, teaching-and-research-oriented university focusing on economics, management, law, arts, and science. It offers full-time as well as part-time education programs.

DUFE is located west to Xinghai Park, a state-level scenic spot in Dalian. It has been well-known for the tranquility and beauty of the campus since the mid-1990s.

About Dalian

A center for trade and finance, Dalian is one of China’s most prosperous cities, attracting top international companies such as Microsoft, Nokia, HP, IBM, and Intel, as well as major banking, insurance, and security companies. Dalian is also a popular tourist destination, with a mild climate and beautiful beaches – the most visited in China. Described as ‘a city built in gardens’, visitors can enjoy leisurely walks through the city parks, lawns, and civic squares, taking in an array of fountains and gardens. Dalian is also home to three zoological parks, including Shengya Ocean World.

If you’re a fan of the sport, go and see Dalian Shide – the most successful football team in China, having won the Chinese league eight times. And at weekends, get out of the city and explore the Binhai Road – 22 miles of scenic coastline with many beautiful beaches along the way.
