Stephen Jarvis, Head of College of Engineering and Physical Sciences - The first students have graduated from an innovative partnership between the University of Birmingham and Jinan University that saw them receiving degrees from both institutions. Eighty-seven successful students received their University of Birmingham degrees in a special online ceremony organised by the Jinan University-University of Birmingham Joint Institute (J-BJI). University of Birmingham Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood joined proceedings by video link to make a welcome speech alongside President of Jinan University, Professor Song Xianzhong, as students celebrated the completion of their degrees. Senior Birmingham colleagues Professors Jon Frampton, Stephen Jarvis, and Chris Good also spoke in the online ceremony, which included a traditional University of Birmingham graduation procession. Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood commented: "It is wonderful to see our first students graduate from the Jinan University-University of Birmingham Joint Institute. This year's cohort has performed exceptionally well - a sign of the quality of education provided by our partnership as, together, we train the next generation of China's mathematicians.
