Our successful Joint Institute with highly ranked partner Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU), opened in 2016 and has grown rapidly.  There are now around 2000 students registered on Lancaster University programmes and further expansion is planned.  Located at the eastern end of Shandong Province, Weihai is a major seaport and popular holiday destination due to its long coastline and abundant sandy beaches.  Teachers are provided with apartment accommodation adjacent to the campus in Nanhai New District.

You will contribute to the intellectual life of the College through excellence in teaching and teaching-related scholarship.
