In the past decade China has not only become a magnet for overseas university students, it has also seen the launch of a growing number of management and finance programmes in the English language.
So much so that in 2012 China was the third most popular destination for globally mobile students at higher education level, according to the Institute of International Education, the US-based, non-profit research and information body.
“China has become a global education hub,” says Peggy Blumenthal, senior counsellor to the president at IIE, adding that part of the draw has been the provision of business and management programmes in English.
