Jinan University - University of Birmingham Joint Institute Campuses

The Jinan University-University of Birmingham Joint Institute (J-BJI) at the Panyu Campus of Jinan University in Guangzhou specializes in high-quality undergraduate programs that blend mathematics, computing, economics, and finance. Approved by China's Ministry of Education in 2016, it delivers dual bachelor's degrees from both Jinan University and the University of Birmingham, with all instruction in English. The academic focus is on building a robust foundation in applied sciences and economics, fostering innovation, teamwork, and global competencies through cutting-edge curricula inspired by international standards.

• Mathematics and Applied Mathematics: Emphasizes core mathematical theories including analysis, algebra, geometry, and advanced topics like partial differential equations, numerical methods, and optimization techniques for real-world applications.
• Information and Computing Science: Covers programming paradigms, algorithms, data structures, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and software engineering, preparing students for tech industries and computational problem-solving.
• Economics and Statistics: Integrates statistical inference, econometrics, probability models, big data analysis, and economic theory, ideal for careers in actuarial science, policy analysis, and quantitative research.
• Financial Mathematics: Focuses on stochastic calculus, financial derivatives, risk assessment, portfolio management, and quantitative finance, training experts for banking and investment sectors.

Students engage in research via events like the Mathematical Contest in Modeling and summer schools. The campus features state-of-the-art labs and facilities, supported by faculty from both partner universities.
