Charles Sturt University (CSU) bestowed an honorary doctorate on a professor of policing from China when he visited CSU in Manly on Tuesday 20 March. Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) at CSU, Professor Ross Chambers, said Professor Shiquan Wang, the President of China Criminal Police University (CCPU) in Liaoning Province, was a highly notable and worthy recipient of the CSU honorary Doctor of Letters (honoris causa) because of his contribution to international police education. “Charles Sturt University recognises and wishes to acknowledge that Professor Wang is a leading forensic science teacher and researcher in his field,” Professor Chambers said. “He has made an outstanding contribution to international collaboration in policing and police education, and in particular, to collaboration with this University. Through Professor Wang’s leadership, our two universities have developed a close collaboration that currently sees five CCPU staff based at Charles Sturt University undertaking full-time PhDs. CCPU undergraduate students are able to spend 12 months in Australia so that they complete a CSU Bachelor of Policing as well as their CCPU degree. So far, there have been three intakes of students, and our two universities have collaborated in seminars and conferences, most recently in Indonesia. These developments reflect Professor Wang’s strong personal commitment to international linkages and collaboration, and his vision of the importance of internationalisation in education, and for policing.”
