Message from Alastair Spark, head of university international centre

China Scholarship

Please advertise this to students (and indeed staff) who you think might be interested in applying.

This is a three-week summer school in China, aimed at students and professional people from the UK. This programme is fully funded by the PRC Government, through CAIEP (China Association for International Exchange of Personnel http://www.caiep.org/en/) and the costs of participants' international flights, internal travel, accommodation, food, teaching fees and so on will be met by the programme. Participants will only need to pay for their own travel insurance and visa fees.

Please note that the deadline for applications is the end of May.

The programme dates are 17 July to 8 August 2010. The first fifteen days (18th July – 3rd August) primarily consist of ‘exchanged’ seminars and workshops, as well as tourism and cultural events, in and around the historic city of Wuhan. The remaining time (4-8th August) will include two days in Beijing, visiting key cultural and heritage sites, such as the Forbidden City, Summer Palace and Great Wall.

The aim of this scholarship programme is to enable young people and professionals from China and the UK to spend three weeks together, in China, participating in a joint language and cultural exchange programme, in order to:
• encourage a wide-ranging exchange of ideas
• deepen their knowledge of the respective languages and cultures
• make friendships and create potential for future collaboration between both countries
