The 40-week course on ophthalmic dispensing is to begin next September at the Beijing Business College in China with 20 Chinese students and 10 each from India and Africa.
The qualification they take, the BTec national diploma, will be a British one, the teachers will be British, and the medium of instruction will be English.
The course will be financed, planned, and delivered by City and Islington college in London, whose optics courses have an international reputation for excellence.
Eighteen London colleges are developing partnerships with several colleges in China and course details are being finalised.
Apart from China, Turkey and countries in west Africa targets for transnational teaching of British courses.

College partnerships take place between Britain and Asia
We like our Texas A&M University-Commerce to provide the Two-way interactive video courses and Web-based instruction courses to deliver a quality education at an affordable price, no matter where the student is. Each semester, A&M-Commerce, Texas, USA offers more than 125 courses via electronically based instruction. Classes are offered primarily through two technology-mediated delivery formats: two-way interactive video and Web-based instruction. Recent year(s) more than 9,904 students took classes using one of these formats. In any given semester, more than 3,000 students are enrolled in only electronically offered classes.
FOR EXAMPLE: Psychology instructor Rebecca Stephens lectures to her students in Commerce, Texas campus and at the Mesquite Metroplex Center via video link. The students in Mesquite can see Stephens on a TV monitor in their classroom and ask her questions through the microphones on their desks.
Distance learning owes its popularity to its convenience. Before, if a student couldn’t make it to the main campus, that student couldn’t enroll in a class. Today, students who live a great distance away from Commerce, Texas can take classes via video conferencing without setting foot on campus. For those who don’t want to even leave the house to take classes, the online option is the ultimate in convenience.
Texas A&M University-Commerce even offers 3 degrees in a wholly online format: Bachelor of Arts in Applied Science, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in management and Master of Science in industrial engineering.
While the main feature of distance learning is convenience, the quality of each course offered is vital. In fact, “U.S. News and World Report” ranked Texas A&M University-Commerce’s online MBA program one of the TOP in the United States. Our A&M-Commerce’s graduates are 99% employed. Our university’s students don’t party too much, we have many exams to test the students to pass a course each semester.

Expectantly, we wish after the California state-budget funded 14-story City College of San Francisco (CCSF) at Chinatown campus is constructed, we may have our Texas A&M University-Commerce’s 4-year undergraduate Bachelor of Arts in Applied Science (BAAS) degree taught by the 2-way interactive video courses and Web-based instruction courses on the LARGE HD VIDEO SCREEN at the afternoon 4:00 p.m. of California time, the same real-time 6:00 p.m. of Texas time.
