China Australia Business College of Shanxi (CABC) is looking for UK partners to develop and deliver articulation programmes in the fields of business administration, finance, and accounting for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. The proposed models for the articulation programmes are as follows:

• 2+1 model (the first two years spent in China and the final year in the UK for an undergraduate degree from a UK university)
• 3+1 model (the first three years in China for a diploma from CABC followed by one and a half years in the UK for a postgraduate degree).

The proposed models are negotiable between CABC and the chosen UK partner. Upon successful completion of the programmes, students should receive a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in their field from the UK partner university.

Benefits for the UK partners

This is an opportunity for the selected UK partner institutions to position themselves as strategic partners with CABC and Higher Education institutions in Shanxi province. Such a partnership will help a UK institution to build their brand awareness in the region, which may support future business engagement, such as curriculum development, staff exchanges and student recruitment.

Areas of responsibility for the two collaborating parties

The selected UK partners will be expected to work with China Australia Business College of Shanxi to:

• develop the curricula for the joint programmes
• provide support in the quality assurance of the programmes
• issue a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree to the students.

China Australia Business College of Shanxi will be responsible for:

• promoting and recruiting students for the programmes
• providing qualified teaching staff as well as the required teaching premises and logistical support for the joint programmes
• supporting prospective students in preparing to study in the UK as part of the programmes.
