  • Description: By Cong Cao China's joint-venture model is an emerging area of international higher education to watch, particularly at a time when the opportunities and appetite for Chinese students to study abroad are diminished - at least temporarily - due to COVID-19. Since my employer, the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), opened its doors in 2004 in the east-coast province of Zhejiang as the country's first Sinoforeignjoint venture university (JVU), another eight have been established. According to a survey conducted in 2013, one of the most influential factors in students deciding to enrol in UNNC at that time was the perception that the end product is a British degree, which could open up greater career opportunities. For one thing, manyJVU faculty members - including those of Chinese origin who have lived abroad for an extended period - are unfamiliar with the domestic research environment, which can hinder their ability to seek local funding and collaborators, and navigate policies.JVUs are also less wellknown to students and their parents than other Chinese universities and they offer a limited choice of degrees, encompassing the social sciences, natural sciences and engineering, but not law or medicine.
