Confucius Institute
Teaching Language, Bridging Cultures
The Confucius Institute at The University of Western Australia teaches Chinese language and provides cultural training, working across community, education and business to increase mutual understanding and recognise the value of multiculturalism.
In 2005, we became the first Confucius Institute to be established in Australia. We now form part of a worldwide network of 500 sister institutes across 138 nations. Our team of Chinese and local staff work side by side to connect Western Australians with Chinese language, Chinese culture and Chinese people.
