If and how to engage with China

A new policy study indicates key factors that lead to success in joint higher education efforts in China. The report findings include that chances for approval from China's Ministry of Education are enhanced by high ranking by European authorities, affiliation with Chinese universities, and offering IT, science, and engineering courses. Other factors that seemed to contribute to success were paying attention to students' performance and career placement after graduation as well as assimilating programs to the local culture, a strategy that requires catering to the needs of Chinese students while "still keeping the features of a Western education" intact.

The article concluded by posing an uncertain future resulting from the decline in the youth population in China and more options coming available within China for students who wish to pursue higher education.
