A senior delegation from China’s Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU), led by the Chairman Mr CAO Guoyong, visited ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app on 24 March to sign an agreement for course articulation in Computer Science.
Discussion between ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Wellings and Chairman Mr Cao highlighted a series of opportunities to further the collaboration -- particularly in high speed rail.
BJTU and ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app explored their joint strengths in research and teaching in engineering, high speed railway, information security and logistics. The visit facilitated discussion on the next steps including sending ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app undergraduate students to China.
The agreement builds on the successful undergraduate international degree program, the Bachelor of Engineering majoring in Mechatronics, which began at BJTU September 2014. Currently ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app is hosting BJTU staff on joint technical research and exchange of international programs.
