Meeting on the Advancement of Joint Programs and International Students Cultivation

In the afternoon of Sept. 24th, NanjingTech held a meeting in the library to work on the advancement of China-Foreign Joint Programs and International Students Cultivation. Prof. QIAO Xu (President), Prof. NIU Shengjie (Vice President) and representatives from relevant departments and colleges attended the meeting.

Prof. LUO Xiaochun, Vice Dean of College of Overseas Education, gave a brief introduction to the achievements of China-foreign joint programs since 2008 in terms of introducing educational resources, reforming teaching plan, developing major courses, training teachers and staff as well as cultivation of students.

Associate Prof. WANG Fei, Vice Dean of College of Overseas Education, introduced briefly to the development and current conditions of international students cultivation. She said NanjingTech still lags behind in terms of the population of international students, percentage of masters and PhDs, distribution of majors and disciplines, system of courses delivered in English, Excellent Courses development and international students' contribution to the course development. She also briefed attendees on the launch of enrollment on international students in 2020.

Representatives from other relevant departments offered suggestions to the development of both China-foreign programs and international students cultivation from the aspects of enrollment, teaching plan and daily management.

After hearing the report of the attendees, Prof. QIAO made a summary. He spoke highly of the achievements of China-foreign programs and international students cultivation and also made some requests. First, NanjingTech should make full use of its own advantage in scientific research to elevate the level of its internationalization, such as international scientific research with nations on the "Belt and Road" region. Second, internationalization prefers quality to quantity. Each college should make reasonable plan to match with the assignment given by the university and guarantee the development of international students cultivation, so that NanjingTech will still have a shot in building high-level university and developing double-first disciplines.

In closing, the attendees had an in-depth discussion on the suggestions and remarks presented on the meeting.
