Staff exchange teaching model for an offshore campus

In 2009 an offshore campus was set up in Singapore by the School of Marine Science and Technology, Newcastle University. Three maritime engineering programs are delivered successfully with approximately 80 students graduating annually. With recent addition of other schools and new staff members to offshore campus, a staff exchange teaching model is initiated by a specialist team of staff with objectives to enhance student experience and possibility of research project tie-ups between the two campuses. Key performance indicators of success will be results of assessment and student feedback as well as evaluation by education specialist at the end of project.
