DMU extends agreement with prestigious Beijing university

Students are set to benefit after De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) renewed its agreement with one of China’s leading universities.



The partnership with Beijing Wuzi University, which specialises in business, economics and human resources, sees students begin their degrees in China and finish their studies at DMU.

Programmes are run through DMU’s acclaimed Faculty of Business and Law and include Accounting and Finance, Accounting and Business Management, Business and Management, Business and Finance and International Marketing and Business.

Of the 13 students who came to DMU last year to finish their degrees, 11 were awarded Firsts and two earned 2:1, reflecting the excellent work by students and high quality teaching available at both BWU and DMU.

Members of the university came to DMU to tour the facilities for business students and meet key members of staff before signing the new agreement.
