The Talent Programme in China

The Talent Programme in China

The education ministry in China has, over the last 15 years, invested a huge amount of money in the university system, and has developed a range of programmes encouraging professional and personal development among academics. Moreover, in recent years, the programme has focused on attracting international talent, especially those who are able to write and…>

My first year teaching in china

My First Year Teaching in China

Foreign academics will face a series of challenges but also many opportunities in their first year teaching in China. In many disciplines, the appeal of hiring a foreign academic is that he/she can teach through the medium of English, and speak the language of the quality of a native speaker. Moreover, they may offer a…>

Managing The Chinese Education System

Managing The Chinese Education System

In any education system, academics are answerable to the government.

When I moved to China in 2010, many university officials were eager to hear my thoughts on the areas that Chinese universities could improve and learn lessons from their western counterparts.  In many ways, the western education (especially the UK university system with its long history) is regarded by many within the Chinese system as…>

The Importance Of Social Media To Your Academic Visibility

The Importance Of Social Media To Your Academic Visibility

Publish

Publishing Articles, and the Debate Over ‘Open Access’ Publications

Academics, and those aspiring to enter into the academic profession, are most probably familiar with the phrase ‘publish or perish’.  The need for academics to publish is integral to applications for jobs, promotion to permanent positions and to obtain research funding.  Publishing peer-reviewed journal articles are a key part of this process.  However, in recent…>

Book Contract

Getting Your First Book Contract

The publication of an academic book, especially a monograph, is still regarded as the ‘gold standard’ in British academia, especially in the humanities. 

Joint Degree Programmes

Why Joint-Degree Programmes Between British and Chinese Universities is a Positive Development

Recent political and economic developments have brought China into the spotlight on the international stage. Initiatives driven by the government such as the ‘one belt, one road’ policy means that China is planning for deeper influence on the international economic stage.  It would logically follow that in this respect, increased influence in the field of…>
