Opportunity

Dalian Minzu University’s Department of International Business is looking for UK partners to support in the development and delivery of the following initiatives:

• exchange programmes and summer courses in the UK for Chinese students
• short-term teacher training programmes in China for Chinese teachers
• joint research and co-publication of papers
• joint student articulation programmes

All of the above initiatives will focus on subject areas related to accounting, financial management, and international economics, business and trade.

Dalian Minzu University is also happy to discuss providing tailor-made short-term study programmes for UK partners whose students are interested in learning more about Chinese culture, language or art.

Benefits

This is a great opportunity for UK institutions to develop a partnership with a Chinese higher education institution specialising in economics and international trade, with potential for expansion into other subject areas. It is also a chance to build brand awareness in Dalian, which may lead to future business opportunities across Liaoning province and the rest of China.

The selected UK partner will be expected to work with Dalian Minzu University to:

• jointly develop and deliver tailor-made exchange programmes and summer courses (15 to 20 days) in the UK for Chinese students
• jointly develop and deliver tailor-made short-term teacher training programmes in China for Chinese teachers to learn about teaching methodologies, classroom activities, and curriculum design
• jointly conduct research and co-publish papers in the agreed areas
• jointly develop curricula for the student articulation programmes
• provide support in the quality assurance of all the above programmes

Dalian Minzu University Department of International Business will:

• recruit Chinese students for the exchange programmes and summer courses in the UK
• recruit Chinese teachers for the teacher training programmes in China, and cover flight tickets, accommodation, and fees for the trainers
• jointly conduct research and co-publish papers in the agreed areas
