A delegation of 21 senior academics and international officers from SBC’s 9 UK partner universities visited SBC on 9th -11th March 2016. This annual visit, which was organised by NCUK, aimed to deliver face-to-face counselling service to students at SBC before making decisions on choices of universities and courses for their future study in the UK.
Over 320 Year 2 students who are currently studying for 2+2 split degrees in Business and Engineering at SBC attended the annual counselling mission. The counselling team offered professional guidance and advice in relation to courses and subjects, student life overseas and career opportunities after graduation.
In the debriefing sessions, university representatives expressed that they were impressed by the overall performance of the students and by their excellent English language and communication skills which were demonstrated during the counselling process.
The annual counselling event is also designed to strengthen the mutual understanding between SBC and the UK partner universities. A welcome reception was hosted by SBC on the evening of 9th March. In addition to representatives from the 9 partner universities, the reception was also attended by Neil McLean, Chair of the NCUK’s Board of Directors and other members of the senior management teams at SBC and NCUK.
Professor John Wilson, Principal and CEO of SBC said: “The establishment of SBC is a result of innovative collaboration between USST and nine NCUK universities. We are celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2016, and it is believed that with the continuing support from our Chinese and UK partners and the launch of Vision 2025, our next 10 years will be even more exciting.”
