US universities set up offices in China
More and more US universities are likely to set up offices in China in order to strengthen their local presence. Princeton University will soon open its first office in China at Tsinghua University, and three weeks ago the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) launched its first China office at the Shanghai Center.
It’s said that the office of UIUC will facilitate the admission process, directly representing the school to avoid frauds caused by overseas education agencies. The office will also focus on building and fostering relationships with Chinese companies and academic institutions, as well as providing students and faculty with academic exchange and career opportunities in China.
