On 14th November, Cameron Wilson, Associate Dean (International) of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, visited SUES. Zhou Xiaozhou, Vice Director of the Office of International Cooperation and Exchanges, presided over the co-operation talks, and the leaders of the International Institute of Creative Design and School of Art and Design attended the meeting.
Vice Director Zhou Xiaozhou expressed her warm welcome to Associate Dean Cameron Wilson and his delegation, and said that at the time when the comprehensive co-operation between SUES and the University of Dundee is about to be formally launched, the visit is of great significance for both sides to strengthen the disciplinary co-operation and to promote the project implementation. At the meeting, the leaders of International Institute of Creative Design and School of Art and Design introduced their program settings, cultivation modes and curriculum characteristics of the Art and Design disciplines of SUES respectively. The two sides reached a consensus on the cooperation of summer programmes, mutual recognition of undergraduate credits and master’s double-degree programmes during the meeting.
Wilson indicated that the two universities have a lot of common ground between the relevant schools in the field of art and design, which creates natural advantage for cooperation between the two sides. When he heard that the SUES leaders’ team was going to visit Dundee soon, he expressed anticipation of having more talks with SUES delegation.
During the visit, Wilson and his delegation visited the design studios of International Institute of Creative Design, School of Art and Design, and School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering of SUES, gaining a better understanding of the SUES' major characteristics and academic achievements, which are based on engineering education with the combination of art and design.
