BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ADVISORS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors are drawn from a wide variety of Chinese industry and also global academic institutions. In keeping with our commitment to provide a mix of top level academic and commercial experience for our students, we felt it important that this vision is maintained at the highest level in our organisation – our Board – and reflects our commitment to these values.
ADVISORS
-
The advisory committee is made up of current leaders of industry and various representative groups from within the institute. These groups include professors teaching on the program, the Dean of the institute, past students (alumni) and current students. The objective of this advisory committee is to ensure the quality and dynamic nature of the program as well as maintain its compliance with the global accreditation bodies it belongs to or is a member of.
The Academic Board ensures the integrity of all academic programs. It is overseen by the Dean of all programs at the Institute and draws on the collective knowledge of all our professors and various administrative personnel working on all programs. It also draws on the elite knowledge of two external academics from eminent institutions who volunteer to assist with review, strategy and implementation of specific programs such as the MBA. They also provide representatives to the advisory committee.
- sharing their collective experience of their time on the academic programs when they were students
- assist in establishing and maintaining student communities beyond graduation
- provide direct connection to industry and government for existing students and other alumni
- have a representative on the peak advisory committee
- participate in accreditation reviews
As a UK institution that works with exclusively Chinese students and alumni, it is important that good relations are maintained with both governments. Furthermore, government relations involve regular reviews of compliance and other regulatory activities in order to maintain good order with both Chinese and British governments. Constant liaison with the Ministry of Education in China and the Office for Students in the UK.
Industry links for a program that focuses on real world outcomes are critical to the Institute. Industry play an important role in the quality and content of our programs and also play a key role in the non-academic portions of programs such as the MBA. As our delegations are an important part of our program and there is a need to ensure ongoing links to companies as far afield as New York and Singapore, then such a series of links become vitally important.
Many of these industry links are built up through contacts from our students, our professors and government relations – all of whom are keen to be involved at some level in this core aspect of the Institute’s offering.
In a world where ‘passive learning’ (sitting and absorbing) is OUT and ‘Problem Based Learning’ (real world connection, reflection and interaction) is IN – input from students is vital to the ongoing integrity of all programs. Whether this is providing input into content or program development at MBA level of helping shape the research direction that the PhD program maintains, all student input is welcomed and reflects the collaborative nature of all programs at the UK China Institute.
Student representation is drawn from the existing cohort of students, alumni from earlier programs and students attending programs elsewhere to provide a 360 degree perspective of what constitutes the best possible outcomes for the future students and our programs.
Global University and Business School partners make up the core of the MBA, PhD and DBA programs that the UK China Institute has to offer.
