FAQs

 

What costs are involved in employing a graduate?

Employers are expected to pay the UK graduates as they would pay a Chinese graduate intern; a suitable living wage, commensurate with the responsibilities of the job.

Can we hire graduates post China placement?

This is dependent entirely on the business and the individual to make the decision to offer opportunities in their China or UK operations.

Which universities will be involved?

So far, the following universities have been involved in the Programme: Brunel University, Coventry University, Middlesex University and Regent's College.

What will graduates' levels of previous experience be?

Candidates will most likely have just completed their degrees or masters programmes. It is expected that their levels of previous work experience will vary from person to person, as with any group of graduates. Employers with specific requirements for work experience should specify this at the time of vacancy identification.

How can we find out more about immigration?

Employers will need to be aware of the immigration requirements to hire an intern permanently. The interns are required to return to the UK as a condition of their visa, and they must do so at the end of their placement.

What stage in their studies are the candidates at?

All candidates will be in the process of finishing an undergraduate or postgraduate degree. The majority of interns will be half way through a postgraduate degree; however they will not have study commitments while in China. All candidates will be required to return to the UK upon the completion of the programme.
