The British Council is delighted to invite you to join an initiative in 2014 to promote UK accounting and finance courses in China.
The UK is regarded as one of the best places to study accounting and finance by the general public in China because of its global reputation in this area, the first-rate teaching and a wide range of subjects by UK universities and colleges, as well as the exciting career opportunities in its vibrant business environment.
Meanwhile, accounting and finance is one of the most popular subjects for overseas study among Chinese students. With the booming economy in China, there has been a significantly growing demand for accounting and finance talents and professionals with exposure to international economy and business environment. For many returned Chinese students from the UK, a degree in accounting and finance can effectively help them start a career that is financially rewarding.
The above reasons contributed to the continuous growth of Chinese students studying accounting and finance courses in the UK in the past few years. According to the most recent HESA Student Record, in the academic year of 2012/13, 18.8% of the Chinese students studying in the UK enrolled in courses in accounting and finance. The number of Chinese students in accounting and finance presented an average annual growth of 18.7% for the past 5 years.
In order to help prospective students in China to acquire a comprehensive understanding of this subject, its career enhancing features, and the strength of UK education in this specific area, British Council China will produce a subject specific booklet on UK accounting and finance courses in 2014. We hope that this booklet will also provide a targeted promotional channel for UK education institutions who are interested in promoting their programmes in this subject.
