He also indicated that since the two universities started working together in 2014, there have been many meetings and close exchanges between them, and faculty and students from both China and the UK have made deep friendships and had good results from working together. He hopes that in the future, based on the new state of international cooperation in the field of education, both sides can come up with new ways to work together, try out new ways to work together, and give faculty and students of the two universities more chances to learn and grow in a wider international field.

The environment of the sharing session was warm, the teachers and students present actively engaged in conversation with the teachers from Edinburgh Napier University, and the students' reactions to the sharing session were very positive.
During the visit, Vice Principal Naomi Graham and her delegation visited the relevant laboratories of SUES and got acquainted with instruction and research at SUES.
