Winthrop University is a public, comprehensive, co-educational university in Rock Hill, South Carolina, in the south-eastern United States, 20 minutes south of Charlotte, North Carolina. It was founded in 1886 and awards bachelor's, master's, specialist and doctoral degrees.

Winthrop offers 46 undergraduate majors and a range of graduate programmes, taught on campus, online and in hybrid formats, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 14:1. Students can take part in research, study abroad, performing arts and NCAA Division I athletics.

International applicants apply online and are supported by the International Center. The English requirement is, for example, TOEFL iBT 68 or IELTS 6.0 (no band below 5). Winthrop offers academic and talent scholarships to qualified international students, and citizens of Rhineland-Palatinate, Thuringia and Brandenburg (Germany), Queensland (Australia) and Taiwan pay in-state tuition under sister-state agreements. Students can live in historic residence halls with free laundry and a microfridge in every room, from traditional halls to apartment-style suites.
