UWS Receives Official Recognition from China
UWS is an official training partner for China after receiving accreditation from China’s State Administration for Foreign Expert Affairs (SAFEA). UWS is accredited as an Overseas Training and Collaborative Organisation (OTCO); enabling UWS to deliver and share training to Chinese partners in a broad number of areas of expertise.
This endorsement means UWS becomes the first organisation in Scotland to be accredited from SAFEA as part of an elite group providing foreign expertise and technical and managerial training to organisations in China.

UWS enjoys excellent links with China and we work closely with a number of Chinese institutions, engaging in joint research, knowledge partnerships and in running articulation programmes.
Research currently being undertaken in collaboration with our Chinese partner universities includes an assessment and mitigation of environmental issues around resource exploitation which has created challenging pollution problems across China directly affecting water and food quality.
(Please be aware that no local institutions in mainland China are authorised to deliver face-to-face classes for the MBA programme.)
