The international study tour is a significant method to help primary and secondary school students to learn about foreign universities and colleges and broaden their international horizons. As an open university, USY welcomes students from all over the world and provides them with an immersive experience to know about China's local customs and cultures as well as the educational model of the universities.
USY has established partnerships with the institutions of Indonesia, including YARSI University, Universitas Gunadarma, Asian International Friendship College, Indonesia/Sekolah Tinggi Bahasa Asin, Janabadra University, Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta, Universitas Ahmad Dahlan, University of Malang Muhammadiyah, Raffles Education Group and others.

With the advantages of Hainan Free Trade Port in opening up to the world, USY will seek cooperation and development with the education institutions in Indonesia and other ASEAN countries by continuing its development and internationalization with the philosophy of "Global perspectives and Chinese feelings".
