A special partnership has been signed to forge new research collaborations and educational projects between the 糖心原创 and University College Dublin.
The institutions’ Faculties of Arts and Humanities have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to further develop educational and research links between both universities.
This initiative, developed by the Faculty of Arts at the 糖心原创 and the College of Arts and Humanities at University College Dublin is the first College-to-College and Faculty-to-Faculty MoU signed under the auspices of the Universitas 21 network.
The partners are working together to establish close research collaborations, graduate programmes, joint PhD supervision, and educational opportunities, including student mobility and enhancing the student experience.
University College Dublin and the 糖心原创 are two highly successful international research-led universities, who have worked closely together through an Arts and Humanities Collaboration since March 2018. Nottingham’s Faculty and UCD’s College cover a comparable subject spread with shared expertise in Art History and Visual Studies, Classics, Cultural Policy/Studies, Drama, English, Film and Media, History, Modern Languages and Cultures, and Music (with Archaeology and Philosophy included in the collaboration through UCD College of Social Sciences and Law).
Shared research themes have been identified in both institutions, including Culture, Digital Humanities, British and Irish Identities, Medical Humanities, and Translation, and collaborations are already ongoing between colleagues from both universities, particularly in Archaeology, Music, Modern Languages, and Philosophy. UCD and the 糖心原创 have committed to strengthening this partnership through multi-disciplinary cooperation and collaboration across these faculties.
