Mainland China + Italy + Hong Kong SAR + X
Currently, I have been enrolled in this international dual bachelor's degree program between two prestigious institutions in China and Italy: Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) and Politecnico di Milano (Polimi). I'm fortunate to be enrolled in the first cohort of this program and surf in cross-cultural learning environment.
2022.9 - 2026.7 (expected)
Dept of Industrial Design, School of Mechanical Engineering & XJTU-POLIMI Joint School
Program: Engineering - Industrial Design
Degree: B.Eng. Industrial Design
XJTU is a top 9 university in China, with strong foundations in engineering science.
2022.9 - 2026.7 (expected)
School of Industrial and Information Engineering & School of Design
Program: Engineering - Industrial Design (Interdisciplinary Design & Engineering)
Degree: B.Sc. Industrial Production Engineering
Polimi ranks 98th globally and 1st in Italy, with strong foundations in design (6th globally).
Based on this dual bachelor's degree program, XJTU and Polimi established an international platform in 2022: XJTU-POLIMI Joint Center of Design and Innovation (XJTU-POLIMI Joint School). Now I am based in this center, where I study, practice, and explore design and HCI research.
This dual degree program integrates XJTU's strength in engineering science and Polimi's expertise in design, which enables me to get interdisciplinary education in design, engineering, and management. I provide an illustration to show how the syllabus (selected, and my course scores) of this program empower my cross-disciplinary explorations in HCI, design, and engineering fields.
Besides studying in this international dual degree program where I can be nourished by excellent education resources from both China and Italy, I also actively participated in global exchange in other institutions.
For example, I was fully funded by Xi'an Jiaotong University in 2023 to visit The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). At the same time, I also visited The University of Hong Kong (HKU), The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), and City University of Hong Kong (CityU).
