The British Council China is delighted to invite UK institutions to join the 2015/16 Study & Career Options events, which are aimed at promoting the UK’s offering in STEM.
Introduction
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects are popular among outbound Chinese students, who are increasingly making study decisions based on their employability prospects. Young people in China are aware that STEM-related expertise can give them a competitive edge and increase their earning potential.
The UK enjoys a strong reputation in STEM education among the general public in China thanks to its first-class teaching resources, and its advances in research and development. In addition, the wide range of subjects offered by UK institutions, and the fascinating career opportunities they open, make the UK a highly attractive study destination. This has contributed to the continuous growth of Chinese students studying STEM subjects in the UK in the past few years.
Opportunity
The 2015/16 Study & Career Options events will be delivered together with academics, industry professionals, and alumni, who will share their experience to help prospective students gain a comprehensive understanding of STEM subjects and their career-enhancing features, and make an informed decision about their education.
UK institutions are invited to nominate academics to visit the host institutions in China and deliver presentations on related topics. This is an opportunity for UK institutions to showcase their STEM offering and directly engage with prospective Chinese students.
