SCUT and the University of Western Australia (UWA) will be working together on building a new faculty of marine science and engineering at SCUT’s Guangzhou International Campus, according to an agreement that was signed by leaders of the two universities this month.
A UWA’s delegation led by its newly appointed Vice-Chancellor Dawn Freshwater, along with Pro Vice-Chancellors John Dell and Wendy Erber, visited SCUT’s campus on May 19. They were received by Zhang Xichun, Secretary of the CPC SCUT Committee, and Zhu Min, SCUT’s Vice President, at the Liwu Building of Science and Technology.
In further steps of the Sino-Australia College launched by SCUT and UWA earlier this year, which has delivered the 3+2 international class program into practice, the two partner universities are now looking to explore more collaboration, in particular with regard to marine science and engineering, life sciences and materials science.
The guests from Australia, after the meeting, had a tour at SCUT’s State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices.
