MSc International Business

The University of Nottingham Ningbo China was the first Sino-foreign university to open its doors in China, in 2004, with the full approval of the Chinese Ministry of Education. It is run by The University of Nottingham (UK) with cooperation from Zhejiang Wanli Education Group, a key player in the education sector in China.

 

The University offers British degree programmes from The University of Nottingham, UK. The University of Nottingham shapes the approach to teaching at our university in China. Our degree courses are subject to the same quality assurance processes at Nottingham UK.

 

The University is located in Ningbo Higher Education Park, a leafy suburb on the outskirts of the city. The attractive, meticulously landscaped campus features many attractive spaces, including a Chinese garden and an English garden to symbolise the unique partnership behind the University's success. Distinctive canals weave through the University's extensive grounds, attracting many different types of birds.

 

Most of the students live in halls of residence. These are situated on a conveniently situated campus high street that has a wide range of shops, restaurants and other spaces for relaxation and recreation. 

 

International staff have the option of living in comfortable, modern apartments within walking distance of the administration block, teaching buildings and science and engineering laboratories. The University also has a staff hotel on campus in order to accommodate visiting lecturers and delegates to academic conferences and seminars.

 

The University's student population has grown from just over 250 to more than 5,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students. This number is expected to increase considerably as the University expands its range of science and engineering degree programmes and attracts more international students from Asia and elsewhere.  

 

Chinese undergraduate students are selected from most provinces on the basis of their college entrance examinations. Competition is stiff for entry to our unique university in China, and students are required to have a minimum level of English to be accepted for degree programmes. 

 

The University is familiar with a wide range of overseas school-leaving qualifications and works closely with the British Council, both in the UK and abroad.

Innovative research

 

At The University of Nottingham Ningbo China the scope of research projects taking place is impressive. Research spans all faculties and disciplines. Our postgraduate students play an important part in our groundbreaking research community.

 

Our strategy is to match teaching and research strengths with China's interests and needs. A major feature of China's national plans is to reduce the country's carbon emissions, so we emphasise environmental sustainability across our research portfolio.

 

The University of Nottingham's researchers seek to maximise collaboration with Chinese, European and industrial sponsors. One of The University of Nottingham's aims is to bring the research expertise of The University of Nottingham (UK) to China.

The residences and fees

The University has two buildings designated for international students, building 11 and building 18.
