Many thanks for suggestions -will suggest Hong Kong Uni but will need to
look at the costs as could be high and this is an issue for this student. My
student has also been offered a place at Nottingham Uni in Ningbo -does
anyone have any feeedback about non Chinese studying there ? Leeds and
Sheffield rejected my student just because his A level grades are not good
enough.
