About Shandong University at Weihai |
Shandong University at Weihai (SDUW) was jointly funded in 1984 by Shandong University and Weihai Municipal Government with formal approval from the Ministry of Education. Located in one of the most comfortable cities in China, SDUW backs on Majia Hill to the north and is surrounded by sea on its east and west sides, covering an area of 1600 mu with the construction area of over 300,000 m2.
During the past 20 years, SDUW has developed into a comprehensive university, composed of 9 colleges (College of Commerce, College of Fine Arts, College of Information Science and Engineering, College of Journalism, College of Korean Studies, College of Law, College of Marine Studies, College of Translation and Interpretation Studies, College of Vocational Technology), 2 departments (Department of Applied Mathematics, Department of Space Science and Applied Physics), offering 32 bachelor’s programs, 24 postgraduate programs and 7 doctorate programs, covering 6 fields of learning: literature, economics, law, science, engineering and management. Up to May, 2007, the Chinese student population on campus has reached 150,000. There are over 300 international students who are studying at SDUW. The number of full-time faculty has reached 1200. In addition, there are another 100 foreign teachers and visiting professors working at SDUW.
As an important component of the hundred-year-old Shandong University, SDUW has absorbed the essence of the great tradition and culture that have been passed down from our forefathers. Shandong province is well-known for “One Mountain, One River and One Sage”. “One Mountain” refers to Mount Tai, which is crowned as the most famous among China's five great mountains. “One River” refers to the Yellow River, the birth place of Chinese civilization and the “Mother River” of Chinese people. “One Sage” refers to the famous ancient philosopher and educater Confucius, whose hometown is Qufu, one city in the southwest part of Shandong province. Meanwhile, SDUW is endeavoring to broaden its horizon through various cooperation with foreign universities. Weihai city is very near to North Korea (it takes less than one hour from Weihai to Seoul by air). Taking this geographical advantage, SDUW has established cooperative relationship with more than 10 Korean Universities. Research cooperation, student and teacher exchange are booming. SDUW is an ideal place for both education and scientific research.
