FOUR Chinese academics on a three-month long visit to University of Cumbria's Business School have been impressed by its approach to teaching and learning.
Business lecturers Professor Jane Zhang, Dr Cindy Lan Mu, Dr Chunzhi Wang and Dr Suzy Zhang from Dalian Nationalities University China in Liaoning Province are spending 12 weeks in Lancaster to compare their teaching techniques with those at the university.
Prof Zhang said: “I’ve been working in higher education for 32 years. I really love teaching. We want to learn from the professors here and share some of our experience with University of Cumbria’s academics.”
At the end of their visit the academics will write a report on their experience and encourage their students to pursue their overseas studies at the University of Cumbria.
Principal Lecturer in International Business, Dr Raye Ng said: “It is indeed an honour for these four distinguished academics, who have gone through a stringent selection process at their university, to select us as their choice of scholarly exchange programme and consider us as the top destination for their students. This reflects the university’s mission of becoming a world-class provider of higher education.”
University of Cumbria academics will visit Dalian at a later date.
