Leeds University explore collaborate in a mutually beneficial way

It is possible to set up departmental links if you could explore the possibility of sending students to our specific schools. It would be easier to set up special discount or scholarships for students when a group of students could be sent to the same School/Department in Leeds.

For instance, our School of Environment is keen to recruit more Chinese students on to all of their existing programmes.

At the undergraduate level, they are happy to accept Chinese High School leavers as long as they have achieved good grades in their High School studies and reasonable IELTS scores (at 5.0). The English requirement is lower than our standard one since the students in the School of Environment would study 40 credits in English language during their Level 1 studies, ie. 1/3 of the total Level 1 programme. A special English tutor is also available to provide the students with additional support.

As you run English training programmes, if you're interested, perhaps you could start a class to prepare a group for IELTS testing. When convenient, we could send a member of staff from the School of Environment to visit you and interview the prospective students if practically possible. The entire Leeds BA degree will take 3 years, but as I mentioned, discount / scholarship is possible for group application of over 10 students.

Please find the web site below listing all the undergraduate courses currently offered by the School: http://www.env.leeds.ac.uk/admissions/admisug1.html

and Related Courses Offered by Other Departments in the University of Leeds:

· BSc in Environmental Energy Science - Energy issues, waste management,
scientific principles
· BSc in Environmental Geology - Geological processes, environmental
geophysics, geochemistry
· BEng in Environmental Energy Engineering - Energy issues, atmospheric
processes, pollution

2. At the postgraduate level, students are also most welcome to apply for our programmes in the School of Environment. Candidates from a broad range of disciplines can apply, including natural, environmental, physical, management and social sciences. Candidates who do not have a background in environmental science will be required to take an environmental science
module. Those without a background in management will similarly be expected to pass a management foundation module. I have checked with the school, although our normal entry level is upper second class, which is interpreted as 80% average academic score, our School of Environment would be happy to consider students with minimum of 75% average academic score and IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 550 (TWE4.0).

Please let me know if you are interested in this proposal with a specific target area. As we receive many general applications already, our International Steering Group is reluctant in appointing more general agents in China (esp in Hangzhou as we have appointed one already). However, arrangements with a specific focus would be most welcome. We could work from this subject and hopefully build on the success and expand into other subject areas in future.

I look forward to hearing from you. I may send you more info later if required.
