She has served as the executive president of the Postgraduate Association at the School of Nursing, Yangzhou University. During her postgraduate studies, she received funding from the Postgraduate Research & Practice Innovation Program of Jiangsu Province for her research on inflammatory bowel disease. Qiwei Wu has published three academic papers as first author and co-first author. Testimonial: “I am a research graduate student from Yangzhou University in China. I was very honoured to receive an invitation from University College Cork to become a visiting student in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. I must admit that the School of Nursing and Midwifery gave me a great surprise. I have to say that it is well-deserved among the top 50 nursing schools in the world. I studied in the international class for half a year and participated in the publication workshops and they taught me a lot. The teaching methods of lecturers are very rigorous and meticulous, and some of these I didn’t think of before which inspired me a lot. The school is well equipped for students to study, with a library and research rooms. Many thanks to everyone that I met in UCC. Finally, I am very grateful to Professor Josephine Hegarty for giving me this opportunity to communicate and to become my supervisor during my visiting period.”
