国际学院力求拓展国际化培养模式，开设具有优势和特色，综合性强的学科，建设一支具有国际竞争力的师资队伍，吸引和招收优秀的海外留学生，营造一个多元的国际化氛围，英文课程将同时面向留学生和所有学生开放。通过与国际知名大学和国际科教机构合作，使国际学院成为特色办学和联合培养的一个开放平台。国际学院所有专业课程均为全英文授课，目前面向全校学生开设了14门课程。同时，针对留学生专业、国籍、年龄、性别等特点，汉语教学采用层次教学方式。为招收来自世界各地的高质量、高水平留学生，促进中国科学院和国科大留学生教育事业的快速和健康发展，国际学院设立了博士资格考试制度。近期，亚太国际理论物理中心的成立将进一步推动学院国际平台建设的发展。
暑期学校
国际学院于2014年6月始创立了前沿与交叉科学暑期学校，首期共历时两周。来自于世界各地，超过30个国家和地区共计80位正式学员（第一期生命与环境科学方向、第二期物质科学方向）成为暑期学校的首批学员。他们不仅会在课堂上感受院士、名师的学术风采与魅力，更要走进国家一流重点实验室参观，与科研一线的科学家及实验室工作人员交流与探讨科学问题。 暑期学校教师团队除来自科学院的院士，杰出青年入选者亲自授课外，更是汇集了来自美国威斯康星大学、荷兰代尔夫特理工大学、美国休斯顿大学、美国旧金山州立大学、丹麦技术大学、美国密苏里哥伦比亚大学、美国亚利桑那州立大学等世界一流研究型大学的优秀师资力量。
As China’s largest educational institution for graduate education, University of China Academic of Science (UCAS) has actively involved itself in the tide of China’s educational internationalization. The establishment of International College aims at taking the advantages of the educational resources of China Academic of Science (CAS) to boost the development of the university’s internationalization, and attract excellent overseas students to this multinational academic atmosphere. The key principles of International College are “Internationalization, Openness, Comprehensiveness and Perceptiveness”. The college will try to show its unique characteristics and combine scientific research and postgraduate education to become one of the world famous colleges.

Students not only have the opportunities to meet the top CAS academician in the courses, but also be able to visit China’s state key laboratory and discuss with the scientific researchers face to face. Professors of the summer school are selected from worldwide top research universities such as University of Wisconsin-Madison, Delft University of Technology, University of Houston, Technical University of Denmark, University of Missouri, Arizona State University, and Hong Kong University of Science & Technology as well as institutions of CAS.
