The Southeast University-Monash University Joint Graduate School () is a postgraduate and research university in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, China. The school is situated in the Suzhou Dushu Lake Higher Education Town. It is a joint venture between the Australia-based Monash University and Southeast University (simplified Chinese: 东南大学) in Nanjing. It is the first joint graduate school in China. It consists of both a Joint Graduate School and a Joint Research Institute. ==History== Australian universities, including Monash, had for many years sought to establish a physical presence in China. Although it had some teaching and research cooperation with Fudan, Nanjing, Shanghai and Beijing universities, Monash lacked the regulatory approval to operate as a fully fledged university. In 2006, it signed an agreement with Sichuan University, which promised to greatly enlarge the Monash presence in China. In May 2008, the region suffered a major earthquake. This led the region to devote its resources to on its internal recovery, with less scope for international university partnerships.〔Graeme Davison & Kate Murphy, ''University Unlimited: The Monash Story'', Allen & Unwin, p. 317〕 Australian universities continued to seek collaborations with and campuses in China. In 2011, it was reported that 25 Australian universities had had their applications for licences rejected in that year alone. In April 2012, it was announced that Monash University had won a full licence to operate as a university in China. The announcement followed several years of cooperation between the two universities and many months of negotiations with the Chinese Ministry of Education. This was the third time that a university had been granted a licence to operate in China and the first graduate school.〔 The University of Nottingham and the University of Liverpool are the other two foreign universities, although it is widely thought that Duke University and New York University are likely to be granted licences soon.〔 The main University building was completed in late 2012, as it accepted its first intake of students.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southeast University-Monash University Joint Graduate School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
