Specifically, the Chinese government and the Ministry of Education (MOE) have been encouraging the development of Sino-foreign international joint universities in recent years, for the purpose of cultivating high-quality talent with global competences. Meanwhile, owing to the increase in graduate unemployment and job market competition, the Chinese government and universities are making efforts to cultivate students’ employability. Thanks to the distinctive traits, Sino-foreign joint universities, as a unique mode of transnational education (TNE), are claimed to be a cradle for talent with better employability in the globalised market. However, despite their prominent role, little is known about how well graduates from joint universities fare in China’s highly competitive graduate job market. To fill in the research gap, this research explored the impact of multiple special experiences in Sino-UK joint universities on graduates’ employability. date: 2025-01-28 date_type: published thesis_class: doctoral_md_only thesis_award: Ph.D language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2354437 lyricists_name: Chen, Anan lyricists_id: ACHEA29 actors_name: Chen, Anan actors_id: ACHEA29 actors_role: owner full_text_status: none pages: 387 institution: UCL (University College London) department: Education, Practice and Society, UCL Institute of Education thesis_type: Doctoral citation: Chen, Anan; (2025) Exploring the Impact of Sino-UK International Joint Universities on Graduates’ Employability.
