Haide College
Haide College is a Joint Education Initiative between Ocean University of China and the University of Adelaide.
Located on Ocean University of China's Laoshan campus in Qingdao, Haide College provides students access to global education, allowing them to gain a deeper, more nuanced understanding of their disciplines, better communication across languages and cultures, and build important international connections that will facilitate their future careers.
Researchers and educators of the two universities collaborate at the highest levels and provide a transformative learning experience for students to continue to advance teaching and research in China.
Ocean University of China
