Dear students

Under the historical opportunity of accelerating the modernization of education, building a strong education country, and comprehensively implementing the strategy of strengthening the province of higher education and "Healthy Zhejiang" in our province, we have the honor to jointly establish the Alberta Institute, Wenzhou Medical University with the University of Alberta, which is the world's top 100 universities and the leader of medical education in Canada. We actively explore the new mode of integrating Chinese medical education with international standards. We will continue to cultivate a group of high-level, high-quality and international medical talents based on excellence and innovation, inclusiveness and mutual learning, and sincere medical education experience.

Here, we not only have teaching buildings with red walls and white tiles, well-equipped laboratories, and beautiful environment, but also show the openness, diversity, inclusiveness and academic nature of a medical school. Here, you can enjoy the pleasure of knowledge acquisition, ability exercise and quality improvement in the study. Here, you can explore the inner ideal faith, to look for the real partner, to pursue the complete personality, independence and freedom to create a comfortable lifestyle.

We look forward to meeting you on campus, feeling the profound cultural accumulation of the university together in peace, feeling the spirit of the school motto of "benevolence, diligence and simplicity, seeking truth and striving" in the perseverance of learning, and growing into a "confident and passionate, capable of doing things and innovation" in the pursuit of virtue and goodness.
