The Successful Opening-up of Ulster Program in CCPU

　　The opening ceremony of Ulster Program was held in our university on Feb 25, 2005. Present at the opening ceremony were Deputy President Yangming, Leaders from Teaching Affairs Department, Criminal Investigation Department and Basic Courses Department, the teaching staff and 23 students on this program. This is the milestone for our university to strengthen the international communications and deepen the influence of our university as an academy for Chinese police officers worldwide.

　　In order to adapt ourselves to police work after entering WTO, deal with foreign-affair cases, crack down international crimes, take active part in world peace-keeping operations and nurture more qualified police officers, our university leaders is attaching great importance to communication at home and abroad. Ulster University and our university took initiatives to cooperate a joint program in October, 2002. In May 2004 the delegation from our university visited course modules, teaching faculty and staff, as well as teaching facilities of Criminality and Criminal Justice in Ulster University and reached the agreement to nurture double-bachelor comprehensive elite. In November 2004, the contract-signing ceremony was held in our university.

　　The joint program takes “2+1+1” model. The students on this program study in CCPU for the first two years, during which time they are supposed to finish required courses by our university and 13 courses of Criminal Justice and Criminality required by Ulster University. They study in Ulster University in their third year and are granted bachelor degree in Criminality and Criminal Justice by Ulster University if they have satisfactory academic performance. They come back to CCPU in their fourth year, who will then finish the required courses and have their internship before granted bachelor degree by our university. So the students have two bachelor degrees upon completing four years of study.

　　The leaders of our university put great emphasis on teaching and supervising of this program. The 15th of every month is the discussion time for the teaching faculty. All the teachers on the program, including two foreign teachers, are devoted to their courses as a team. Leaders in relevant departments have expressed their full support also.
