Congratulations to our engineers in Shanghai!

Many congratulations to our fabulous graduates in Shanghai!

An amazing 74 individuals celebrated their joint degree from LJMU and the Sino-British College at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST).

They marked the happy occasion on Thursday (July 24) with their families and friends in the presence of LJMU VIPs, including Dr Aileen Jones, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dr Julia Wang, Director of International Relations.

Dr Jones told graduands it was a wonderful occasion: “It is an opportunity for you to reflect on your successes and the challenges you have overcome along the way.

“Our partnership with the Sino-British College and USST is a fantastic example of supporting students and our communities, and of helping to positively shape our society and the world around us.

“Our institutions share many common goals and the core principles of providing high quality, industry-focused programmes, which address the needs of employers.

“Your success as graduates and the impactful work I know you will go on to do, is a testament to the strength of that relationship and we are very proud of what you are achieving.”

Liverpool John Moores university’s partnership with USST was established 19 years ago and sees LJMU deliver two of the four dual award programmes in the joint institution Sino-British College, which are Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. This July there were 51 completing Electrical and Electronic Engineering programmes and 23 graduating in Mechanical Engineering.
