MEI provides a bespoke "one to one" service for Chinese students, according to each individual’s needs and aspirations, which is tailored to the practicalities and logistics of studying abroad.
With extensive and high-quality international resources, MEI has provided opportunities for high school and vocational school students who want to further their education abroad.
In Shanghai, there are 20 vocational colleges in higher education and almost 60 vocational colleges in the FE sector. Although many of the students may attend degree courses at local universities in Shanghai, studying abroad is out of reach for most of them.
Being aware of this, MEI has worked with a variety of universities in UK who can offer degree courses in appropriate vocational subjects, as well as assisting the students in improving their English. Therefore making it possible for their dreams to come true.
This successful programme continues to develop further not only between Shanghai and UK, but also excitingly extending to Jiangsu and to UK campuses at Middle East higher education institutions.

Classrooms had a buzz and there was much more interaction between teachers and students. They also had lots of opportunity to practice and improve their English!
The activities were not restricted to the classroom and they very much enjoyed exploring the campus and finding facilities to suit and extend their talents. They discovered that, as well as studying, good healthand fitness was an essential. They tried out the gym, basketball courts,swimming pool and even indoor climbing walls.
Even discovering British food was more interesting than they anticipated! Lunches on campus were both nutritious and delicious.
