Tim Wheeler said that the University of Chester was the first teacher education higher institution in the U.K. and education and psychology were well-established subjects.
He added that the 2000-year old Roman city of Chester and the ancient capital city of Xi’an were platforms for various exchange and cooperative programmes, and hoped the two institutions would cooperate in faculty and student exchange, undergraduate overseas intern programmes, academic research, and joint international conferences.
After the meeting, the British guests visited the SNNU Museum of Education and the Ministry of Education Engineering Research Centre of Historical and Cultural Heritage Protection at SNNU’s School of Materials Science and Engineering.
