The Dickson Poon University of Oxford China Centre Building
This has been a unique collaboration between a college of the University and University departments. We are immensely grateful to our donors for helping us to provide such attractive, modern facilities for the students, Fellows and wider community at St Hugh’s.
I believe China will become an even more significant world force this century, requiring a deeper understanding by the West. Oxford already has a proud history in the study of China, and I was delighted to make this gift to help advance knowledge, collaboration and understanding in all aspects of Chinese culture.
The opening of the magnificent new China Centre building enables us to confirm Oxford’s position as Europe’s premier centre for the study of China and to move toward making it the most exciting place to work on China in the western world.
