Collaboration: Professor Michael Farthing met on the Sussex campus with the Vice President of Renmin University in China, Professor Chen Yibing.
A delegation from Renmin University in Beijing visited Sussex last month to sign an agreement concerning undergraduate degree collaboration in Business, Management and Economics.
The visit followed discussions earlier in the year when the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Michael Farthing, went to Renmin University.
Under the scheme students will study two years at Renmin and then progress into the second year of specified Bachelors degrees in Business and Economics at Sussex.
The first group of students will come to Sussex in 2012.
Sussex will be holding further discussions with Renmin about collaboration at postgraduate level during 2010.
