In September 2021, the two students went to the School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Leicester through the "3+1" long-term exchange program. Stemming from the Institute’s deeply integrated educational method, the Sino-British teaching mode and the good international environment, they could quickly adapt to the British teaching and management model. After a year of hard work, their achievements in the professional fields praised by professors and industry experts from the UK. Up to now, a total of 11 students in the two classes of the Institute participate in the long-term exchange programs, and all of them have graduated from the University of Leicester with the first-class honours degree. In the future, the Institute will continue to focus on high-quality and characteristic development, and cultivate qualified international talents who have a strong sentiment to love families and motherland and the ability to participate in global governance with a global vision.
