Brief introduction of the Sino-British College

The Sino-British College is an international university college established in 2006 as a joint venture between the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology and nine university members of the Northern Consortium UK (the University of Bradford, the University of Huddersfield, Leeds Beckett University, the University of Leeds, Liverpool John Moores University, Manchester Metropolitan University, the University of Salford, the University of Sheffield, and Sheffield Hallam University).

As a higher education institution and joint venture, the Sino-British College is unique in two respects: first, it is the only joint venture of its kind involving British universities that has approval to operate in Shanghai; second, it offers pathways to nine UK universities, giving students considerable choice in terms of the programmes and the universities through which they can continue their studies.
