Queen’s link up with Chinese university
One of China's top universities will today sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Queen's University Belfast to help bring about closer working relationships.
Wuhan University is a key university directly under the administration of the Ministry of Education in the People's Republic of China. Located in Hubei Province's capital Wuhan it is ranked as one of the top twenty of over 1000 universities in China with over 45,000 students.
Queen's and Wuhan have for a number of years been discussing possible co-operation between the two institutions, especially in the areas of law. Today a formal Memorandum of Understanding will be signed in order to promote co-operation between the two institutions. Queen's Law School will work towards the establishment of a joint LLM in Corporate Governance and Public Policy. In addition top graduates of Wuhan's programmes will be able to come directly to Queen's existing LLM programme.
Welcoming the signing Queen's Pro Vice Chancellor, Ken Bell said: "Queen's values greatly the links it has successfully built with Chinese universities. Such links support the work of this university as one of the UK's leading universities and are part of a wider network of relationships that bring both educational and economic benefit to the people of Northern Ireland."
The delegation from China will visit Queen's as part of a wider 14 day visit to the UK and Ireland. In 2001, the Ministry of Education, China and Hubei Province decided to make efforts jointly in order to build Wuhan University into a "high-level university well known both at home and abroad" by the year of 2010.
