UIC owns four courses that the Department of Education of Guangdong has selected as the provincial first-class undergraduate courses. They are Optimisation, Introduction to Robotics, Principles of Macroeconomics, and Machine Learning. To date, two FBM courses have been recognised as provincial first class.

Principles of Macroeconomics is a core course of all UIC's Faculty of Business and Management programmes and a free elective course offered to students from other faculties and schools. The course trains students to understand and analyse major macroeconomic phenomena and issues using economics as a primary methodology. It combines front-line academic results with basic education, explores new learning resources, and establishes a comprehensive tutoring system.
