We place international academics, teachers and specialists into Chinese institutions — and bring Chinese students and staff to the UK. Exchange in both directions, in person.
师者无界 · 学互通有无
Our network reaches well beyond the UK: international academics, teachers and specialists come to China to teach, lecture and collaborate — for a semester, a summer, or a short intensive stay.
We handle the practicalities that make a placement work: matching experts with institutions, visas and contracts, housing, orientation, and on-the-ground support throughout the stay. Experts teach real students in real classrooms — and are looked after by people they can call at any hour.
Lecture halls, laboratories and long dinners with colleagues — recent visits to partner campuses, with the experts and students at the heart of our work.

Together with partner universities — including the University of Portsmouth — we run short UK study experiences for Chinese students: campus life, city visits, gallery and museum days, and a taste of what a master’s degree abroad really feels like.
A placement is measured in meals as much as in lectures. Hotpot evenings, noodle shops, city walks at dusk — this is the China our experts remember.
