Joint Educational Partnership of University of Glasgow and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China
The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), and the University of Glasgow (UoG), established a Joint Educational Programme (JEP) in 2013, followed by a Joint Educational Institute (JEI) in 2016: the Glasgow College, UESTC in Chengdu. Both models are approved by the Chinese Ministry of Education. Since then we have had exceptional success spanning a decade, delivering joint Engineering degree programmes.
In April 2022, Glasgow College Hainan, UESTC, a Joint Educational Institute (JEI) was launched, to build upon the partnership’s award-winning and accredited collaboration with UESTC. Hainan is at the forefront of a new phase in economic reform in South China - with education being a key component under plans to make the district an International Education Innovation Island. It was because of UESTC’s position as one of the leading providers of degree level education in electronic information engineering, and the reputation of Glasgow College UESTC in China, that the partners were invited to apply to expand their activities within the pioneering Lingshui Li’an International Education Pilot Zone.
The vision of Glasgow College UESTC and Glasgow College Hainan, UESTC is to combine the strengths of two world-class university systems to provide our students with the benefit of a truly global educational experience, while pursuing exciting and innovative collaborations in learning & teaching, research, and the sharing of knowledge.
It is a place that inspires ambitious people to succeed. A place where inquiring minds can develop their ideas. A place where talented people are given the space to realise their dreams.
Our joint degree programmes, delivered entirely in English, build on the strengths of the Chinese and British education systems and will prepare students for their career better than either University can do alone.
