About us

Beijing Zhongxiqiao Education (CWE — Chinese and Western Exchanges) is one of China's earliest consultancies focused exclusively on cooperation between China and Spain. Founded in Beijing in 2011, with an office in Madrid and a resident coordinator in Barcelona, we work on both sides of the relationship — with Spanish universities seeking qualified Chinese students, and with Chinese institutions building international programmes.

What makes us different

Spain-focused by design

Deep focus on one country

Unlike general study-abroad agencies, we concentrate on Spain alone. This focus lets us know the Spanish higher-education system deeply — and today we serve as the China-based admissions office for several leading Spanish universities, including the University of Salamanca and the Autonomous University of Barcelona. We also pioneered the CAU university-pathway programme, a preparatory course that takes Chinese students from school-level Spanish to university readiness.

What we do

Our four service lines cover cooperative education, exclusive master's cohorts, admissions at every level — from secondary school through to doctoral programmes — and study visits and short programmes. Across China, we promote these programmes through a nationwide network of partner schools and institutions.

Numbers and people

Since 2011 we have helped nearly 10,000 students begin their studies in Spain, with a 99% visa success rate across our applicants. Ninety percent of our team have studied abroad, and many of our leadership have lived and worked in Spain. We believe strong cooperation is built on trust, transparency and long-term commitment.
