TNE Zone
At this exhibition, we will be piloting a Trans-national Education Zone for local providers of UK programmes taught in Hong Kong, as part of the British Council’s new services to support TNE. Only courses that are fully-accredited in the UK will be promoted in this Zone. Invitations will be sent to locally-registered providers in due course. If your institution is offering programmes in Hong Kong and wishes them to be featured in this event, please encourage your partner institution to look out for the invitation. Space will be limited to a maximum of ten nine square metre stands. For more information about our TNE services, please contact Juhanie Cheung, Education Manager, British Council Hong Kong.
