University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) was founded in 2004 with the approval of the Ministry of Education. It is the first Sino-foreign cooperative university in China that possesses an independent legal personality and independent campus, providing bachelor's, master's, and doctoral education. The number of enrolled students is nearly 10,000, and teachers and students come from more than 70 countries and regions. UNNC has been recognized as a 5-star institution by QS Stars Rating and is one of the first Chinese-foreign cooperative universities to have a national postdoctoral research station.
Nottingham University Business School China holds the prestigious EQUIS accreditation, re-accredited for the maximum duration of five years in 2021, and achieved AACSB accreditation in May 2022—a distinction earned by fewer than six percent of business schools globally. Additionally, the School is recognized as one of the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) Champion Schools, committed to fostering responsible business leadership.
2026 UNNC Summer School: Doing Business in China
The 10-day Doing Business in China summer school, led by Nottingham University Business School China, introduces and explains relevant knowledge and methods for developing your understanding of how business is conducted in China. You will learn through case studies and practical exercises that there is no “golden key” to business in China. Class discussions will revolve around your own discovery of China. To contribute fresh insights, you will use the Ningbo region of China as a laboratory. You will be expected to develop your understanding of Chinese society through face-to-face encounters with local businesses and organisations.
