Times Higher Education Awards 2017
The School of Pharmacy has been shortlisted in the Times Higher Education Awards 2017, widely recognised as the Oscars of the higher education sector. Our International Pharmacy joint course with Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TUTCM), China has been shortlisted in the ‘International Collaboration of the Year’ category.
This innovative and ground-breaking programme is the first collaborative programme of its type with any international university, with students spending years 3 and 4 of their studies at the University of Nottingham and Nottingham staff contributing significantly to teaching in China. The programme exemplifies vision and provides a new collaborative educational model that could be extended within China, and beyond.
Professor Stephanie Allen, Director of Teaching and Learning in the School of Pharmacy, said: “Innovation in education and research is central to the School of Pharmacy’s mission and we are excited to be working with TUTCM on the delivery of this new course in International Pharmacy; it presents us with a valuable new opportunity to learn about pharmacy and its related practices in China. We are absolutely delighted that the innovation and hard work involved in establishing, launching and now delivering the course has been recognised by a shortlisting for this THE Award.”
