Connections Accelerator - Building Connections for TNE and Sub-Degree Articulation

Date: Friday, 24 January 2014
Time: 10.00 a.m. – 6.00 p.m.
Venue: 3/F, British Council, 3 Supreme Court Road, Admiralty, Hong Kong

Aims of event
This event provides an opportunity for a range of UK and Hong Kong institutions to meet one-on-one, and identify possible areas of new collaboration in terms of:

a) in-market delivery of UK courses (TNE)
b) articulation agreements from sub-degree programmes in Hong Kong to undergraduate courses in the UK.

Short introductory discussions with senior decision makers from a range of Hong Kong institutions will enable you to establish a quick sense of what institutions may have complimentary needs and objectives to your own, and therefore represent potential partners.

Discussion themes

• Provision of UK higher education courses in Hong Kong
• Opportunities for delivery of new courses/agreements
• Sub-degree programme graduates progression to UK universities
• Opportunities for forming articulation agreements

Participants
Senior decision makers from Hong Kong and UK tertiary institutions, i.e.:

• Pro Vice Chancellors, Faculty Deans, Heads of International Offices
• Representatives of relevant Hong Kong education bodies
• British Council

Institutions can be represented by one or two delegates. Only one series of meetings will be arranged for your institution (if sending two delegates they would sit together in the same series of meetings).

Delegates should be able to discuss the aims and objectives of your entire institution, i.e. Deans or Senior Academics from specific faculties should be able to provide an overview of overall institution partnership objectives.

A charge of GBP1,000 is applicable for attendance at this event.
