The Zhejiang University-University of Edinburgh (ZJU-UoE) Institute welcomed its first cohort of BSc Integrative Biomedical Sciences students in September 2016.

The programme launch is a significant step in a major collaboration between the Deanery of Biomedical Sciences and the School of Basic Medical Science of Zhejiang University. The collaboration aims to build on the existing strengths of both universities, to develop and deliver an innovative programme of undergraduate and postgraduate education, alongside a centre for research collaboration. The ZJU-UoE Institute is located at Zhejiang University’s new International Campus in Haining, China, and the University of Edinburgh is one of several international partners developing joint projects with Zhejiang University at the new campus.
