The UK’s biggest study-abroad fair, showcasing 74 of the worlds universities that teach courses in English, was recently held in Manchester and London. China’s presence at The STUDENT WORLD was strong, with universities discussing at length various education and exchange opportunities between China and themselves.

According to The Pie News, China is currently the third most popular destination for mobile study, after the US and UK. A representative from Nanjing University at the exhibition spoke of “bilateral understanding” and “increasingly warm diplomatic and business relations” as being cornerstones to student recruitment.

Nanjing is a renowned hotspot for it’s many prestigious and long history of education. Each year, international student numbers reach new heights as students select courses that range from Chinese language, degree courses and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

“China and the UK are now seeking unprecedentedly close co-operation in the fields of economy, culture and education. Consequently, the need to come to study Chinese language and to understand Chinese culture, country, people and society is… increasing,” the Nanda representative went on to say.

John Demer, UK director of FPP EDU Media, the operator of The Student World, was quoted as saying, “China sees its relationship with the UK on higher education as a two-way street, and is keen to tempt British scholars to sign up to its own well-respected institutions”.

In an interview with Chinese press agency Xinhua, the new vice-chancellor of Cambridge University, Stephen Toope, hinted at the possibility go the university opening up some kind of institution in Nanjing. He said, ”Many of our scientists and scholars who already have strong links into China, we have particularly powerfully connected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to Tsinghua University and Peking University in Beijing, but now we’re also looking to develop another hub in Nanjing”.

Toole also spoke of how China is at the top of the agenda, yet highlighted that when it comes to Brexit, there are “negative consequences” as 23 percent of the institution’s teachers come from Europe.

However, that seemed to be the only negative thing to say about keeping universities afloat in the UK. Universities seem quite confident that by strengthening ties with Chinese universities, the future is bright for all.
