New international travel and educational opportunities are just over the horizon for Canadian students, thanks to an agreement between China’s Binzhou University and the University of the Fraser Valley.

By signing a memorandum of understanding on Jan. 18 with Binzhou University president Dr. Luo Gongli, UFV president Mark Evered began the process of opening doors to exchanges between students, staff and faculty.

Initial areas of collaboration include a visiting student agreement, and a letter of agreement enabling Binzhou’s students to enter UFV’s post-degree certificate programs during their final year of studies. Specific programs include UFV’s hospitality and event planning, data analysis, and management post-degree certificate.

Binzhou University is one of only nine approved universities in China with an emphasis on aviation.
