根据教育部办公厅最新公布的《2021 年度国家级和省级一流本科专业建设点名单的通知》，宁波诺丁汉大学工业设计、国际事务与国际关系两个专业入选省级一流本科专业建设点。

加上此前已有的一个国家级一流本科专业（财务管理），以及七个省级一流本科专业（环境工程、材料成型及控制工程、化学工程与工艺、电气工程及其自动化、土木工程、国际传播学，以及国际经济与贸易），宁诺近半数的本科专业被评为“一流”本科专业建设点。商学院、人文与社科学院、理工学院均有专业入选。

在课程建设上，宁诺已有“项目设计”、“营销管理学”两门课程入选国家级一流本科课程，另有38门课程获评省级一流本科课程。宁诺是第一所同时拥有国家级一流本科课程和一流本科专业建设点的中外合作大学。

宁波诺丁汉大学一直以来重视学科专业与课程建设，将英国诺丁汉大学的优势学科与中国社会经济发展需求相结合，嫁接培育出具有中国特色的国际化专业与课程，使中国学生能以较低的成本接受世界优质高等教育。

以此次入选的工业设计、国际事务与国际关系为例，两个专业均采用国际化的教学体系，以小班化、合作式学习，全英语授课为特点，培养学生自主学习、辩证思维及团队协作的能力，教学质量受到英国高等教育质量保障署和中国教育部的双重质控，是国际化教育的本土化实践。

工业设计：

受国际学会认证，

本科生科创能力屡受国际认可

工业设计专业受到英国工程技术学会（IET）和英国设计工程师协会（iED）的多轮认证，在教学上采用国际公认的IET和iED所推荐的最新教学大纲，代表了全球范围内工业设计本科教育最先进的课程设计水平。该专业的六门课程荣获浙江省一流本科课程。

在教学特色上，工业设计专业强调能力导向，引导学生从现实生活出发，发现和解决问题。专业与多家企业建立合作机制，成立了“宁诺-和丰创新设计实验室”，学生能获得暑期科研、实习等多样化的实践机会，将课堂理论在解决现实问题的过程中进行创新性应用。

在这样的理念驱使下，工业设计专业学生屡屡在国际大赛上展露锋芒，收割了德国红点奖、IF奖、美国IDA国际设计奖等各类设计大奖60余项，此外还申请到专利20余项、发表论文20余篇。

就在今年3月，两位工业设计专业的本科生袁孟豪和王彦哲在导师带领下设计的一款具备实时健康监测功能的 “智能拖鞋” 横扫全球鞋类设计奖的三项大奖：总冠军、社会影响力大奖和医疗类鞋履大奖。这是两位学生通过参与暑期科研项目设计出的创新产品。

王彦哲认为，参与产业化的设计项目使他的实操和科研技能有了很大的提升。“通过项目，我不仅了解了如何应用前沿科技去赋能设计，也积累了一定的实践经验。”

扎实的专业能力、开阔独立的思维和顺应市场的国际化视野，也让工业设计专业的毕业生深受国际一流大学和企业的认可。近年来约30%选择海外深造的毕业生被世界设计类专业排名前十的顶尖高校录取，如帕森斯设计学院、英国皇家艺术学院、哈佛大学、麻省理工学院等，就业学生则受到微软、IBM、华为等国内外知名企业的青睐。

国际事务与国际关系：

多元师资，

打造全国排名第一的政治学类专业

国际事务与国际关系是宁波诺丁汉大学的 “老牌”专业之一。它根据英国高等教育质量保障署的专业基准进行专业设计，是一个跨学科专业。

国际事务与国际关系专业注重师资的国际化，15名教师来自13个国家，其中不乏英国皇家历史学会、皇家艺术人文学会院士，研究领域也横跨比较政治学、国际关系理论、环境与能源安全、世界史、当代中国研究等等学科。

国际事务与国际关系师生进行圆桌会议

在过去十多年里，国际事务与国际关系专业为外交外事、学术研究领域以及非政府组织与企业培养了诸多通晓国际规则、具备跨文化交流能力的复合型人才。近年来，选择海外深造的毕业生中约九成进入全球排名前100位的院校，就业毕业生则受到联合国下属机构、毕马威、德勤等国内外知名企业的青睐。

2020年10月《中国青年报》头版报道了宁诺国际事务与国际关系学毕业生刘芮希作为一名国际公务员，在位于埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴的国际非洲能力建设研究所工作的经历。

谈到为什么会去联合国工作，刘芮希觉得是本科专业的学习点燃了她的“火种”。“国际事务与国际关系开设了专门针对国际组织的课程，欠发达地区的发展、性别平等、国际安全、全球环境治理等也是国际政治经济学和国际关系理论课程的重要课题。此外，得益于宁诺的国际化教学和学院开设的小语种语言教学，宁诺学生在英语和第二外语上极具优势。”

2020年，国际事务与国际关系专业荣膺校友会中国政治学类一流专业五星专业，与复旦大学、北京大学并列全国排名第一。2021年，宁波诺丁汉大学社会科学学科（含国际事务与国际关系）QS排名居国内前1%。专业课程中，外交学课程于2019年入选了省级一流课程。

Two UNNC undergraduate programmes awarded provincial level “First-Class” status

According to the latest results of the “2021 National and Provincial First Class Undergraduate Programmes list” announced by the General Office of the Ministry of Education, the BEng Product Design and Manufacture and BA International Studies undergraduate programmes were both awarded with provincial level “First-Class” status.

In addition to the previously awarded national level First-Class undergraduate programme (BSc Finance, Accounting and Management), and seven provincial level First-Class undergraduate programmes (BEng Environmental Engineering, BEng Mechanical Engineering, BEng Chemical Engineering, BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering, BEng Civil Engineering, BA International Communications Studies, BA International Economics and Trade), nearly half of UNNC undergraduate programmes have now been rated as First-Class programmes. Nottingham University Business School China, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Science and Engineering all contain programmes now ranked at First-Class level.

In terms of modules, UNNC’s “Marketing Management” and “Project Design” modules have been rated as national First-Class modules, and 38 other modules have been rated as provincial First-Class modules. UNNC is the first Sino-foreign university to be awarded with both national First-class undergraduate programmes and modules.

UNNC has consistently attached great importance to its curriculum development, combining key disciplines of the University of Nottingham with China’s social and economic development needs, as well as to establishing international degree programmes with Chinese characteristics so that students can receive world-class higher education at a lower cost.

Taking the Product Design and Manufacture and International Studies programmes as examples, both courses are based off international teaching systems, characterised by English small class teaching and seminars, with a strong focus on cultivating students’ abilities in critical thinking and teamwork.

The Product Design and Manufacture programme is accredited by both the British Engineering and Technology Society (IET) and the British Institute of Design Engineers (iED). The programme adopts the latest syllabus recommended by IET and iED, representing the most advanced level of curriculum design for undergraduate education in industrial design worldwide. Aside from module content, students on the programme also have the opportunity to engage in scientific research and internships in order to practically apply the theoretical knowledge learned during class time.

Approximately 30% of graduates from the Product, Design and Manufacture programme who choose to study abroad have been admitted to the top ten universities in the world for design programmes, including at Parsons School of Design, Royal College of Art, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, etc. Employed graduates are also favoured by well-known international institutions such as Microsoft, IBM, Huawei, etc.

As one of the first batches of courses in UNNC, the International Studies programme is designed according to the professional benchmarks of the UK Higher Education Quality Assurance Agency and is an interdisciplinary major. The programme benefits from an international faculty, with 15 faculty members from 13 countries, including academicians of the Royal Historical Society and the Royal Society of Arts and Humanities, and their research fields also span comparative politics, international relations theory, environment and energy security, world history, contemporary China studies and other disciplines.

The programme has cultivated a number of complex talents who are proficient in international rules and have cross-cultural communication capabilities for foreign affairs, academic research, and non-governmental organizations and enterprises. In recent years, about 90% of graduates who choose to study overseas have entered the top 100 institutions in the world, and graduates who moved into employment were hired by top firms, including UN affiliated agencies, KPMG, Deloitte, etc.
