Cross-University collaborations

The University of Bristol has built excellent research and teaching links with top Chinese Universities, including Tsinghua, Peking, Zhejiang, Shanghai Jiao Tong, Sun Yat Sen and Nankai. Our teaching partnerships provide students with opportunities to obtain a joint degree in areas such as Liberal Arts, Translation and Geography.

Scholarships

The University has a strong relationship with the China Scholarship Council. 2018 saw the introduction of the China Scholarships Council – University of Bristol Joint Scholarship PhD Programme, enabling high-calibre Chinese students to carry out research in Bristol on a fully funded basis. The numbers on the programme have increased every year and in 2022 the programme will provide 60 fully funded PhD scholarships for up to 48 months of research.

Opportunities for UK students in China

There are also several opportunities in China for home students to join. These programmes reflect the increasing level of interest that our students have for China, particularly towards cultural understanding and professional experience.

Students have had access to a number of China-focused opportunities, both in person and virtually. These have included internships in Shenzhen and intensive language and culture programmes with partner institutions in China.
