Introduction
The ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø’s relationship with NUIST (Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology) started in 2009 and led to the creation of a teaching partnership with the Department of Chemistry. This expanded into multiple course offerings and the establishment of the NUIST ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø Academy in 2015, a joint educational institute approved by the Chinese Ministry of Education. The Academy offers a range of undergraduate degrees in sciences and social sciences and gives students the opportunity to come to ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø for their final year. ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø curricula, materials, assessment and quality assurance procedures are followed at the Academy, helping to raise educational standards and enhance the quality of the degree programmes on offer.
From September 2018, the Academy was permitted to recruit up to 300 students annually across a portfolio of six subject areas. From September 2020, the academy partnership expands with the addition of two new programmes, bringing the total number of students annually to 380.
