The Culture of Camfordbridge
Why Camfordbridge?
This name, to the Chinese, represents all they know and love about a British education, conjuring up images of medieval halls, ivy-covered walls, heavy wooden doors, and the idyllic English summer. To us, it represents our desire to be a bridge into a rich, civilizational exchange that creates permanent friendships between East and West for the the greater flourishing of humankind!
Our Purpose
Camfordbridge, ltd. exists to link UK educational resources, schools, colleges, universities and institutions of higher learning to the Chinese educational market, through direct relationship cultivation, advertisement and networking in China. We accomplish this end through networking with Chinese student families, attending education trade shows, making agreements with Chinese high-schools and universities, and representing UK and US organizations as their agency in China. We will facilitate and plan the logistics for short and long- term education residencies, tours and cultural exchange programs.
British System Overcapacity and Under-Marketing
According to the statistics published by the University of Nottingham Center of Asian Research in October of 2019, only 32% of British programs fill their quota for Chinese students. “British universities are recruiting lower numbers of excellent students than they might, particularly for science and technology degrees.” We find a real need for an education agency company committed to educational and ethical excellence arising in the gap betwixt the number of available programs developed in the UK for foreign students, and the actual number of Chinese students availing themselves of these programs. There is still room for improvement!
Vision
Camfordbridge is founded upon just such a vision. We are committed to reducing British overcapacity and allowing the Chinese market to appreciate better the great opportunities that exist for them within the British Education System!
