Dual Doctoral Degree in Policy Studies and host international symposium
Lingnan University (LU) and National Chengchi University (NCCU) in Taiwan jointly launched a Dual Doctoral Degree Programme in September 2020. Graduates of the programme will be awarded the degrees of Doctor of Policy Studies from LU and PhD of Education Policy/Administration from NCCU.
To celebrate the launch of the joint programme, the two universities held a signing ceremony in April, which was followed by the Symposium on Internationalisation and Quality Management in Higher Education 2020 as supported by the Asia Pacific Higher Education Research Partnership and Alliance of Asian Liberal Arts Universities. The event was broadcasted live online and attracted over 200 scholars and students.
At the Symposium, scholars from the UK, mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong discussed the internationalisation and quality assurance in higher education, as well as topics related to enhancement practices in higher education, international student mobility and employment, and comparative and international education.
