Leveraging on the opportunity to attend the 2015 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Cooperation Forum, THEi signed an MoU with Qingyuan Polytechnic.  Representatives of both parties were, respectively Professor Chua Hong, Acting President of THEi, and Mr Lin Hai Long, the new Principal of the latter.  The primary idea behind the partnership is to pursue collaboration on articulation arrangements between the two institutions to enable graduates of Qingyuan Polytechnic, which is of sub-degree level, to continue their study in Hong Kong by entering Year 3 of THEi programmes, at degree level.  While there are many practical issues yet to be ironed out, the endeavour represents a big step forward to deepen the relationship of the two institutions, since the MoU signed earlier in April 2015.
