Something About Company
Launching in September 2025, the new JEP will allow students to gain a BSc Biomedical Sciences Honours degree from UoB and a Pharmacy degree from HUST over the course of 4 years. Students will study both programmes in parallel, gaining knowledge and experience in both subjects over a shorter amount of time than would be required if studying the individual degree programmes. All material will be delivered in English in China and the successful candidate will only be required to teach on the UoB part of the course.
In 2026, the JEP will move from the main HUST campus to the brand new HUST Junshan International campus in Wuhan.
HUST is a top University in China and is currently ranked 9th nationally and 100th in the world (US News and World Report, Best Global Universities). At HUST there are approximately 55,000 students of which 3,400 are international students from 155 countries. The main campus of HUST is in the city of Wuhan and is known as the “the University in the Forest” due to the abundance of trees and beautiful green spaces across its 460 hectares.
Wuhan has a long and rich history that dates back 3500 years with many historical buildings and temples including the Yellow Crane Tower. With 1.3 million students, the city of Wuhan is the largest college town in the world and is nicknamed “the city of rivers” as the Yangtze, the 3rd longest river in the world and its biggest tributary the Han flow through the city.
