继2009年我校国际学院合作办学项目获得英国商会中国商业大奖后,该合作办学项目再次获得国际大奖。当地时间2012年1月13日星期五,2011年度Cathy Pacific China Business Award(凯西太平洋中国企业奖)的颁奖典礼在英国伦敦举行。我校与伦敦大学玛丽女王学院本科联合培养项目获得New Horizon Award(新地平线奖)。项目的英方负责人玛丽女王学院教授Laurie Cuthbert作为代表出席并接受颁奖。
评委会对联合培养项目给予了高度评价,以下节选了获奖的新闻公告原文:
Their ground-breaking model is a collaboration between Queen Mary (QM) and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) in a joint Degree Programme launched in 2004. This unique programme allows students to graduate with two degrees – one from BUPT and one from the University of London. There are currently over 2,000 students enrolled in the joint degree.
The programme draws on the best aspects from both systems –mathematical and scientific rigour from China and engineering and creative problem-solving skills from the UK. All teaching takes place in China in English, with 50 per cent of teaching from each university, using core teaching staff from the UK who fly out to teach in Beijing, teaching in a ‘block’ mode to cover each module. They thus ensure that the best teachers from their UK staff provide the courses in person in China.
这个奖项的获得是与中英两校所有参与合作项目的领导与教职工的智慧、勤奋和努力分不开的,与所有学生的奋发、进取、创新是分不开的。这是一份很好的新年礼物。
我校与玛丽女王学院从2004年开创性推出这一本科联合培养项目至今,已有4届,共1232名毕业生顺利走出校门,在国内外获得良好的声誉。新的学期开启新的希望,新的一年承载新的梦想,国际学院全体教职工将在学校的正确指引下,为我国的中外合作办学事业继续开拓,不断进取!
据悉,Cathy Pacific China Business Award 由国泰航空、恒生银行(HSBC)和英国每日电讯报(The Daily Telegraph)共同组织的国际性评选,包括New Horizon Award等三个奖项。
