Abstract
In this paper we consider the success of blending the Chinese and UK educational systems in the joint degree programmes between Queen Mary, University of London and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. The paper explore how these programmes have been structured, how we have combined the strengths of both traditions, how the engineering, management and Law disciplines have been blended together and how we have introduced the personal development aspects into this very popular programme that recruits 500 students a year, all scoring higher than the top national line in the national university entrance examinations.
