KCG and Tianjin University of Science and Technology entered into a sister school affiliation in 1999, and in 2000, KCG established a joint program, "KCG Course at Tianjin University of Science and Technology" at the same university.The curriculum of this course, designed by KCG, is an unprecedented and innovative fusion of Japanese language and computer education.Those who wish to do so can study abroad at KCG for one year in their third year to acquire more specialized IT skills and knowledge.In 2008, with the full support of KCG, the first Department of Automotive Control in China was established at the university.
