Syntegrative Education
Programme
INTRODUCTION
The Certificate in Industry and Enterprise Tailored Education (IETE) is the pilot programme of XJTLU's SE to develop industry elites - syntegrative elites. The programme provides students with an additional educational path during their summers to earn career-competitive qualifications, while developing their skills for continuous learning, integrating and applying knowledge and to develop adaptability. Students gain cross-disciplinary training and experience, a complexity mindset, strong managerial skills, entrepreneurial skills, and cross-cultural leadership skills. Upon successful completion of the IETE programme, students will be jointly awarded the Certificate by Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and The University of Liverpool. Gaining this qualification will benefit the students in their future career development and graduate school applications.
The IETE programme has 2 stages:
(1) IETE Level 1 is designed for students who finished their second year of study (Year 2), and this level of study (i.e. on-campus study and in-company placement) will focus on introducing basic industrial knowledge and entrepreneurial skills to the students. Students will gain valuable training on campus and in our partner companies through conducting research-led project-based studies, where the projects are jointly proposed and supervised by our industrial partners and XJTLU teaching staffs.
(2) IETE Level 2 is designed for students who successfully completed IETE Level 1. In this Level of study (i.e. on-campus study and in-company placement), students will receive training on more complex research skills and management and entrepreneurial skills in a Chinese context. Students will conduct a more in-depth project study with a focus on a specific industrial issue proposed by the student and approved by XJTLU teaching staffs and our partner companies.
EDUCATION MODEL
Based on society's demand for high-quality talent, IETE combines general, specialist, industry and management education. Campus-based learning, research, field studies, and practical application of knowledge are combined to create a new learning environment with a high degree of synergy between campus, companies and industry.
While completing their XJTLU undergraduate degree programme students may enroll in the additional IETE programme modules, with industry and management training taking place during the summer holidays. In their Final Year, students may also receive mentorship from both academics and industry leaders for Final Year Projects focused on the practical problems of enterprises.
After graduation, should the enterprises decide to employ the students, the enterprises may provide students with the opportunity of a two-year part-time Masters programme at XJTLU (based on the needs of both parties), as well as, field studies.
