English 中文 SDU-ANU Joint Science College The Shandong University (SDU) and The Australian National University (ANU) Joint Science College (JSC) at Shandong University’s Weihai campus is a ‘Sino-Foreign Cooperative Educational Institution’ partnership approved by the Chinese Ministry of Education. About the Joint Science College The SDU – ANU Joint Science College is a unique partnership where ANU and SDU have come together to create a world-class learning opportunity for students. JSC students will acquire a strong fundamental education in various science discipline areas in China, which will include SDU courses taught by some of the ANU world-leading scientists, and then be given an opportunity to come to ANU to undertake advanced study in their chosen discipline area. Eligible JSC students will be able to undertake a customised ‘3+1+1’ model of study where they will study at SDU for the first three years followed by at ANU for the final two years. Upon successful completion of their studies at ANU, such students will be eligible to receive two degrees, Bachelor of Science and Master of Science, from the ANU. In addition, Shandong University may also award an SDU Bachelor of Science degree to students that meet SDU’s requirements. Key Facts Areas of study: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics 2 ANU Degrees: Bachelor of Science and Master of Science 3 years at Shandong University, followed by 2 years at ANU Higher degree and other postgraduate programs (for example, Masters (Advanced), MPhil, or PhD) may also be available Discipline Areas Videos and links below provide an overview of various ANU Research Schools and their engagement in the JSC.

Meet some of your teachers Associate Professor Maja Adamska, Associate Director Education, Research School of Biology With special interest in embryology and evolutionary biology, Maja Adamska studied at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. She moved to Germany to work on function of homeobox genes in inner ear development, using a variety of vertebrate models from medaka fish to mice in her PhD project. During postdoctoral work at the University of Michigan she followed complex crosses of mouse mutants to reveal genetic interactions involved in limb patterning. Other staff members at ANU Research School of Biology Professor Paul Francis, Physics and Astronomy & Astrophysics first year coordinator Paul is an ANU Distinguished Educator and a winner of the Australian Award for University Teaching, Award for Teaching Excellence. His research interests include interactive teaching methods, online education, Lyman-alpha blobs and quasars. He describes the goal of his teaching as: helping students realise what an absolutely amazing and wondrous universe they live in, and equipping them with the confidence and skills to make something of its limitless opportunities. Other staff members at ANU Research School of Physics Associate Professor Lara Malins, Senior Lecturer, Research School of Chemistry Lara Malins completed her PhD at University of Sydney with Professor Richard Payne on the development of new peptide ligation strategies. Upon completion of her postgraduate work, Lara served as a National Institutes of Health (NIH) postdoctoral research fellow in the laboratory of Professor Phil Baran at The Scripps Research Institute, developing synthetic methods for the targeted modification of peptides. She was appointed Research Fellow at the Research School of Chemistry in November 2017 and currently holds an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA). Other staff members at ANU Research School of Chemistry Dr Noah White, ANU Mathematical Sciences Institute Noah is a mathematician at ANU working at the intersection of algebra, geometry and combinatorics with much of my work being inspired by physics. Prior to ANU, Noah completed his PhD at the University of Edinburgh and was a postdoc at UCLA. Much of his research focuses on examples of physical systems of particles (such as spin chain models, or some classical integrable models) whose motion produce mathematical phenomena which can be used to prove results in algebra, specifically representation theory.
