Opportunity

School of Economics, Peking University (SEPKU) is looking for UK partners to develop and deliver a one week programme in the UK in the fields of business administration, international finance and economics for students of SEPKU’s post-EMBA programme. The one week overseas programme will be delivered twice per year, starting in August 2017, aiming to recruit up to 40 students on each occasion.

The proposed content for the programme is business administration, strategy and leadership, innovation and cross-cultural management practice. Besides the taught course, visits to local companies are suggested to be made available. A more detailed curriculum could be discussed with UK partner universities based on their teaching resources and academic strengths.  

Benefits for the UK partners

This is an opportunity for the selected UK partners to establish a long-term relationship with one of the top business and finance universities in China. This holds potential for further collaboration in areas such as student and faculty exchange, expanding academic research and cooperating with other Chinese institutions and local enterprises. It is also an opportunity for the UK partners to raise their institutions’ profiles and brand awareness in China, with benefits for future student recruitment.

Areas of responsibility for the two collaborating parties:

The selected UK partners will be expected to work with SEPKU to:

• develop the curriculum for the post-EMBA overseas programme
• provide support in the quality assurance of the programme
• arrange local accommodation and catering services for the students.

SEPKU will be responsible for:

• promoting and recruiting students for the programme
• providing pre-departure instructions to the students
• providing one staff to take care of the students and coordinate with the UK partner.
