Sichuan Education Services Centre for International Exchange

The Sichuan Education Services Centre for International Exchange, a department of the Education Department of Sichuan Province, invited us to provide a top-up programme to enable students from Chinese 3-year diploma programmes to travel to the UK for masters study. Students who successfully achieve their diploma and meet the language requirements are guaranteed a place in the UK.
