Abstract
A two-week course on solid state lighting was developed as part of a summer overseas immersion programme (OIP) offered at the University of Glasgow to students from the Glasgow College, UESTC (formerly known as the UoG-UESTC Joint School) and the University of Electronic Science and Technology. The aim of the OIP is to provide students with an international academic and cultural experience while building stronger ties to the University of Glasgow and becoming acquainted with Scotland. The cohort of students was composed of 27 Year 1 students and 5 Year 2 students, all of whom were Chinese nationals for whom English was a second language. The process of designing the OIP will be described, tying the decisions on topics covered in lectures and labs, the sites of tours, and the course schedule with the aims of the OIP. Assessment of the OIP from the perspective of the staff and the students will be discussed.
