A class act: UK universities to attract more Chinese students[1]- Chinadaily.com.cn

China Daily  

View of the exhibition area for UK during the 2014 China International Education Exhibition in Shanghai, China, Nov 1, 2014. "With the growth of higher education in China, Bangor University made a strategic decision to work with reputable Chinese institutions to raise Bangor University's profile in China, attract high-caliber Chinese students, develop joint research projects and ease the way for Bangor students to study in China," she said. In January, the Higher Education Statistics Authority in the UK said more first-year students from China enrolled at British universities than those from all European Union countries combined. One medium to long-term challenge, it said, is that China wants to be an international education hub and that growth rates in the number of international students in the country are increasing. In 2013, 274,439 Chinese students enrolled in higher education programs in the United States, 92,248 in Australia and 70,805 in the UK.
