China’s first Sino-foreign University marks 10th anniversary
The University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), the country’s first Sino-foreign university, marked its 10th anniversary on April 17 in Beijing. The UNNC student community has grown from just 254 undergraduates in 2004 to over 6,000 in 2014, including undergraduates, postgraduates and PhD students. The UNNC is determined to double the percentage of postgraduates and overseas students from the current 10 percent each to 20 percent for each group in 2020. David Greenaway, President and Vice Chancellor of the University of Nottingham, said UNNC is committed to serving the Ningbo community and contributing to China’s economic and social development. The Ningbo Nottingham International Academy for Marine Economy and Technology, officially launched on April 14, will build on Ningbo’s strong reputation for marine-related activities and support the city’s marine economy, he said.
