The Nanjing University Exchange Project is a joined venture of the University of Stirling and Nanjing University. For a period of one semester in the Autumn of 2018, the University of Stirling will welcome 17 students from Nanjing University in China to offer an integrated programme combining a robust academic curriculum with cultural and personal development components. The students will engage with academic practices in the field of print, broadcast and photo journalism as well as media, digital design and 3D printing. Students will have an opportunity to gain awareness of the practices of media and governmental organisations in Scotland through a series of educational trips and immerse themselves into the Scottish culture through a series of social trips. A special employability and personal development programme will allow the students to gain skills necessary to improve their performance, presentation, networking skills and personal impact in and beyond academia. Upon completion of the programme, the students will be equipped with skills complementing their respective programme at the School of Journalism and Communication of Nanjing University and make them stand out in the global journalism and communication market. This is the website the University of Stirling has created for students to publish their academic and practical output as well as journal their educational and social experiences in Scotland. Using this website to showcase their coursework and output, the students will be able to produce a portfolio and use it to advance their education and professional career.
