The University & The Co-organizer

University of Wales, UK
Founded by Royal Charter in 1893, the University of Wales is the degree-awarding body for a number of higher education students in Wales, as well as for many at other higher education institutions in the United Kingdom and overseas. To date the University has awarded over 600,000 degrees.

The University’s position enabled it to focus not only on its primary functions as a degree-awarding body and provider of services to the Welsh higher education sector but also, as a national institution, it played an enhanced role in protecting and promoting the economy, culture and language of Wales.

In July of 2011, the governing bodies of the University of Wales, of Swansea Metropolitan University and the University of Wales: Trinity Saint David made a commitment to transform themselves for the future through merger.

The transformed University will establish itself as one of the key institutions in Wales delivering high quality learning and research opportunities for students both at home and abroad. With a strong student base across several campuses, the University will also offer a range of service facilities on a local, regional, national and international basis.

The University of Wales is a major national institution in Wales. While it is, of course, committed to helping to fulfil the educational and economic needs of Wales and to supporting its linguistic, cultural, and national heritage, the University is also committed to its international role and to enhancing its standing across the UK and overseas. As well as its validation role and the international projects undertaken by its Global Academy, the University sponsors a number of cultural initiatives, such as the prestigious University of Wales Dylan Thomas Prize, for young writers, which attracts entries from all over the world.

The Hone Kong Management Association (HKMA)

As one of the largest providers of management training and education in Hong Kong, it offers annually over 2,000 programmes at all levels to more than 50,000 participants. Each year, more than 1,000 local, Mainland China and overseas organizations sponsor their staff to the training programmes offered by the HKMA. The Association also has close ties with a number of overseas Universities from Australia, the UK, the USA, the Philippines and the Mainland China in offering offshore programmes in Hong kong. These programmes include Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees in various management areas.

After rigorous reviews, the Association is empowered by the University of Wales to offer courses in Hong Kong with standard and qualification equivalent to those offered in Wales.
