The mission statement is "Academic Excellence in the Service of Global Citizenship", and this means that The University of Nottingham Ningbo China has committed itself to developing subjects that combine internationally ranked teaching and research excellence at The University of Nottingham UK with Chinese needs for internationalisation and globalisation. This allows Chinese students to enjoy a world-class international education without the major expense of studying abroad. All undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Ningbo are conducted entirely in English with the same teaching and evaluation standards as at Nottingham UK. Internationalisation is at the heart of the development of The University of Nottingham Ningbo China: the university has a growing international teaching team as well as an increasingly international student body. In the longer term 25% of the student population will be international. Our internationalisation policy also means that all students have the opportunity to study at The University of Nottingham UK or to go as exchange or study abroad students to study at other top universities around the world.
The University of Nottingham recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Fudan University to create a ‘Confucius Institute' in Nottingham. It is dedicated to the deepening and expansion of existing links with schools, business, government, community groups and the Chinese cultural community to promote the teaching of Chinese language and contemporary Chinese culture. The Confucius Institute
will also promote academic links with Chinese universities and showcase contemporary Chinese popular art and media, including films, television programmes and the creative arts such as painting, photography, literature, music and the performing arts.
The University of Nottingham has teaching and research links with China in fields as diverse as satellite technology, the environment, education and law. Nottingham, along with other UK universities, has not only experienced an increase in its research activity with Chinese universities but it has also seen a huge increase in the number of Chinese students wishing to study in the UK. In addition to the Chinese students coming to Nottingham, more than 1,400 students from the UK and around the world are taking courses about contemporary China in the University's new School of Contemporary Chinese Studies. The School enables students to take a range of 'with Chinese Studies' degrees, for example Management with Chinese. Most recently courses have been established in Mathematics with Chinese Studies, and Electronic and Electrical Engineering with Chinese Studies.
In 2004, Madame Chen Zhili
, Councillor of the State Council of the People's Republic of China and former Education Minister, agreed to launch the China Policy Institute, a policy-oriented think-tank which produces top-quality research and policy papers on selected topics to help build a more informed dialogue between China and the UK and to guide government and business strategies. More recently, Professor LuYongxiang, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, came to Nottingham where he was awarded an honorary degree and gave a keynote speech to a University conference on Traditional Chinese Medicine. Madame Chen Zhili, Councillor of the State Council of the People's Republic of China and former Education Minister received her honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from the University of Nottingham in 2003. The University made its most significant decision in terms of developing its international strategy when it appointed Professor Yang Fujia as the sixth Chancellor of the University. He was, and remains, the first Chinese Chancellor of a British University. Professor Yang has been invaluable in terms of advising the University on its links and helping it to understand the changes taking place in modern China.
The University has also established a major scholarship programme with Hunan University
. It also has a joint appointment with Tsinghua University, Beijing, focusing on international collaboration, and is working on various e-learning initiatives with Chinese institutions. The University of Nottingham's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir Colin Campbell, has been awarded Honorary Citizenship of the city of Ningbo and recently received an Honorary Doctorate from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Economic development agencies within the United Kingdom are now based at the campus of The University of Nottingham Ningbo, China. The City of Nottingham is twinned with the City of Ningbo, and there are well established cultural and community projects enriching lives in both England and China. Welbeck Primary School in Nottingham, for example, has recently established a link with Jiangdong Central Primary school in Ningbo, China, along with five other Nottingham schools. Students from Ningbo visiting the UK for study now undertake volunteering work within local schools, helping to widen appreciation of Chinese culture and lifestyle.

The article, drawing on his experience as founding Provost of UNNC, cautioned British Universities that they must acquire a more thorough understanding of Chinese higher education policy if they were to succeed in building successful strategic alliances over the long-term, especially in light of China's growing presence as a major educational hub and R&D power.
A statement was issued by Vice-Chancellor Colin Campbell distancing the university from Prof. Gow’s position, criticizing an article by the Guardian http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/worldwide/story/0,,2223094,00.html for a misleading assessment of Prof. Gow’s article. Another response was subsequently published in the Guardian http://education.guardian.co.uk/higherfeedback/story/0,,2224010,00.html.
