More Chinese students for SIT likely
The Southern Institute of Technology is set to add to its international student roll after an agreement with China's Hubei University of Education.
Representatives from the university spent yesterday at the Invercargill campus and will take in the Queenstown campus today.
From October 17, at least 20 Hubei students would begin SIT's three-year Diploma in Hotel and Tourism at their Chinese university. When they had completed that, they would undertake the one-year Bachelor of Hotel Management at SIT's Invercargill campus.
Vice-president Professor Xiaojing Zhang said although their visit was short, they had been greatly impressed and found SIT students to be hard working, industrious, and had a good relationship with their teachers. The area also had beautiful scenery.
Mr Zhang said the two institutions were very similar and both could see the benefits of the agreement.
SIT business services manager Bharat Guha said the delegates were impressed with SIT's facilities, and it was looking positive.
"It's going to be pretty exciting actually."
SIT offered a similar programme to students in Inner Mongolia, with 83 students at various levels of the qualification at present.
Mr Guha said if everything went well the number of Hubei students could grow, with the limit at 40.
