China

The Faculty’s China strategy is based on the need for an informed and focussed approach to engaging China and an analysis of the changing international education and research.

The Faculty wishes to have strong relationships with a small number of prestigious Chinese universities covering research and teaching activities.

Monash University has a comprehensive university-wide agreement with Sichuan University in Chengdu covering education and research. Within this agreement there are already joint research seminars and education initiatives, including an articulation agreement under development.

In December 2008, the Faculty signed a student and staff exchange agreement with Peking University, by most measures the top ranked university in China.

Research Collaboration

The Faculty has established several international research alliances and collaborative agreements with universities and organisations in China. The Faculty aims to develop relationships that further both the University's and its partner institutions' research capabilities.

• The Faculty with Renmin University offers PhD students the opportunity to spend six months of their candidature in the Department of Economics. During this period students receive guidance from a Monash supervisor and have access to Monash research facilities.

Cooperation in Undergraduate Degree programs (Articulation Agreements)

Undergraduate articulation programs have been established by the Faculty.. An agreement of this kind stipulates that Monash University will recognise the prior study of these students to articulate to a Monash degree program.

Students from Jiangnan University (formally Southern Yangtze University) in Wuxi, China will complete a Bachelor of Business and Commerce degree at Monash’s Gippsland campus after two years of study at Jiangnan University. Similarly, students from Beijing NormalUniversity’s ZhuHai campus (BJNU) complete a Bachelor of Business and Commerce at Monash’s Peninsula campus after two years of recognised study at BJNU. The Faculty is also developing an agreement with Sichuan University to establish an articulation pathway for Sichuan University students into the Bachelor of Business at the Caulfield campus.
