Students’ comments:

    The great success in postgraduate recommendations of the 2019 students could not have been achieved without the efforts of the leaders and teachers in Nanchang University Queen Mary School. Professor Zhijun Luo has demonstrated outstanding vision and leadership in the field of education, built up a wide range of international exchange platforms for students, and pioneered the continuous development of the Joint Programme. During the application season for the postgraduate recommendation, Prof. Luo not only guided students to pursue academic perfection, but also fully tapped the potential of each student through professional guidance, so that students reached their ideals. The rigorous academic teaching style of both the Chinese and British teachers is of great significance in cultivating students' appropriate learning attitudes and critical thinking skills, laying a solid foundation for us to move to a higher level of academia. On the arduous academic road for the students of the class of 2019, the encouragement and help from all the teachers means a lot, especially from Mr. Hui Liu, the grade counselor, who has always provided a strong backing for all the students of the cohort. When students faced various pressures and challenges, he would always listen to their concerns and worries patiently, and wholeheartedly gave them encouragement and support. Mr. Liu gave us a hand to overcome difficulties, make plans, and realize our dreams.

"The cutting-edge teaching and guided learning modes of the school have cultivated our critical thinking skills and independent learning ability. The strong academic environment has made us familiar with postgraduate life in advance. Thanks to this, I could overcome all obstacles and get the offer from my dream school!"

"The dual-degree joint programme brings me not only cutting-edge knowledge and bilingual advantages, but also enhanced learning ability and a multi-dimensional perspective on clinical and scientific research issues. At the same time, I would like to thank my teachers and classmates for their encouragement and support along my journey, which gave me the courage to continue to move forward even when I was in a trough. Finally, I would like to say ‘chase the wind to catch the moon but do not stay, at the end of the plain is the mountain of spring’, to myself, but also to our future selves."
