????關(guān)于 LSBF 與上海大學(xué)：

????1. LSBF 與上海大學(xué)業(yè)已達(dá)成共識，發(fā)展獨(dú)特的協(xié)作關(guān)系，在上海與倫敦同時(shí)成立上海-LSBF學(xué)院。兩所院校之間緊密的關(guān)系促成了這一合作，上海2010年世博會(huì)中倫敦形象的不斷提升，也為該合作進(jìn)一步鋪平道路。

????2. 該教育中心的初始目的在于通過在上海及倫敦開設(shè)相關(guān)課程，滿足上海及全球人才的發(fā)展，參與者可以自由選擇在這兩個(gè)城市的學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)，轉(zhuǎn)換學(xué)分及完成學(xué)業(yè)。

????3. 開設(shè)的課程包括上海大學(xué)在倫敦開設(shè)的Global Local MBA，與LSBF在上海開設(shè)的專業(yè)會(huì)計(jì)及金融行政發(fā)展課程。

????4. 這一獨(dú)特的理念折射出上海大學(xué)辦學(xué)愿景: 全球思維，地方行動(dòng)。LSBF秉承以培養(yǎng)全球領(lǐng)袖為目標(biāo)的辦學(xué)理念。在這個(gè)教育中心里，東西方的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力思維與哲學(xué)理念相遇交融，讓國際化思維在特定地域得以應(yīng)用展現(xiàn)。在金融中心城市培養(yǎng)這些將對市場發(fā)揮影響的人才，顯得尤為重要，這也是這一聯(lián)合協(xié)議的獨(dú)特貢獻(xiàn)所在。

????5. 上海大學(xué)MBA項(xiàng)目是中國為數(shù)不多的用英語進(jìn)行MBA教學(xué)的學(xué)校之一。該MBA項(xiàng)目榮膺中國“最有影響力MBA項(xiàng)目”這一稱號（《中國日報(bào)》，2007），并獲得中國MBA監(jiān)管委員會(huì)在第五及第六批次MBA項(xiàng)目評審中最高的評估分?jǐn)?shù)（2009）。

????6. LSBF被PQ Accountancy評為年度最佳學(xué)院；年度最佳講師；并由英國邊境管理局評為最高可信任等級的機(jī)構(gòu)。LSBF發(fā)展迅速，旨在通過傳統(tǒng)、網(wǎng)上及社會(huì)媒體等平臺(tái)提供為滿足日新月異的金融商業(yè)環(huán)境的發(fā)展需要的相關(guān)課程。

????7. 這一合作也能將中國其中一間規(guī)模最大、名列前沿的大學(xué)的教育資源帶到倫敦。此次合作將提供一個(gè)平臺(tái)，加強(qiáng)兩個(gè)重要的城市之間的相互理解與協(xié)作，培育下一代的企業(yè)領(lǐng)袖與專業(yè)金融人士。

????East and West financial centres Unite for Historic New Global Business and Finance Education

????( 2011-04-12 Shanghai / ) A leading ChineseUniversity has today signed a historicMOU to partner with the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF)to study the possibility of establishing new centre of educational excellence in Shanghai - one of the world’s fastest developing business hubs.

????Shanghai University has chosen LSBF as its preferred global partner to share and combine LSBF’s postgraduate executive development and professional examination programs and best teaching practises of ShanghaiUniversity’s MBA education for the optimum learning experience.

????The new institute, to be called the Shanghai London School of Business and Finance is structured as the education excellence centre for executive development programs and further discussion on its possible inauguration plan will be made from representatives of two schools in the coming May. A further school will also be opened in Londonby LSBF under the same name in February 2012 for delivering world-class MBA education from ShanghaiUniversity to the European and global markets.

????The agreement, witnessed by the Lord Mayor of London on a trade visit to Shanghai, means thatthe two new centres of excellence willprovide a platform to share and develop greater understanding and collaboration betweenthe two cities, and ultimately the development of the next generation of corporate and financial professionals.

????In line with Shanghai’s ambitions to be recognised as an international financial and shipping centre by 2020, LSBF’s founder and CEO, Aaron Etingen, said of the new joint venture, “We are delighted to be working with Shanghai University and are confident LSBF’s innovative approach to academic learning will help mould Shanghai’s future leaders and aid them in facing the challenges of tomorrow.”

????Dr SteveLetza, LSBF’s Global Academic Director said “LSBF is well aware of the growing need for industry relevant, quality education providers in the emerging markets, such as China, Singapore and India. With our ethos of making education accessible to all, we have embarked on programme of opening campuses in strategic parts of the world.” “Shanghai, with its rapidly developing economic business sector and need for well-educated professionals to help its continued expansion, was the perfect location” he added.

????Professor Zhiming Ye, VP of Shanghai University said “in China, we aim to leverage the successful experience of LSBF for non-degree executive development and professional examination programs for building global business and finance talents to serve Shanghai future development. In London, we would like to have LSBF’s support to combine our world-class MBA education with LSBF resources for the European and global markets”.

????The MOU was signed in Shanghai and witnessed byRt Hon Lord Mayor of London, Alderman Michael Bear, who is touring the region currently, “The quality of education offered in Londonis second to none. Therefore I am very proud to see that quality and excellence in learning being brought to China – a first in our respective histories,” he said.

????“Helping to forge relationships in both cities, we hope the unique partnership of this educational first will bring benefits to both city’s economies and best practises.” Bear concluded.

????The MOU marks the beginning of a formal partnership between ShanghaiUniversity and LSBF and was signed by Roland Ng, and the VP of Shanghai University, Professor Zhiming Ye.

????The Shanghai MBA was ranked as the ‘most influential’ MBA in China by China Daily in 2007 and in 2009 enjoyed the highest team overall evaluation mark by the China MBA Supervisory Committee for the fifth and sixth batches of MBA programs in China. LSBF have recently enjoyed international success with their innovative Global MBA – the first ever online MBA to be taught exclusively through Facebook.

????About LSBF and ShanghaiUniversity :

????1. LSBF and ShanghaiUniversity have agreed to develop a unique collaboration in agreeing to develop and launch a new Shanghai–LSBF Institute in both Shanghai and in London. This builds upon the close relationship between the two institutions and flows from the City of London profile at the Expo-2010 inShanghai. 2. The initial focus of the Centre will be to serve the future of Shanghai and its global talents needs by offering appropriate Shanghai and LSBF programmes in both cities, with the option to elect to complete and transfer studies and completion between the two centres and the two cities. 3. The programmes on offer will include the ShanghaiUniversity’s Global Local MBA in London, and professional accountancy and finance executive development programmes in ShanghaifromLSBF. 4. The distinctive philosophy reflects the vision of the University of Shanghai to “Think Globally, Act Locally”. LSBF enjoys a stated mission to develop students to become global leaders. It is this common commitment to provide a local access to global thinking that is to be presented in a Centre that permits the East to meet the West in leadership thinking and philosophy. This is particularly important in the financial centres and through the training and challenging of those who must be responsible for behaviour in those markets – a distinctive contribution of this joint-initiative。 5. The Shanghai MBA is one of a small number in China that is delivered entirely in English. The MBA was ranked as the ‘most influential’ MBA in China (China Daily, 2007) and enjoyed the highest team overall evaluation mark by the China MBA Supervisory Committee (2009) amongst the fifth and sixth batches of MBA programs in China. 6. LSBF has been voted the College of the Year by PQ Accountancy; lecturer of the Year; and enjoys Highly Trusted Status from UK Border Agency. A rapidly evolving school, LSBF is focussed on delivering courses for the ever changing financial and business landscape through traditional, online and social media platforms. 7. This is an exciting venture which will bring to London an education provision from one of the largest and leading universities in China. It will provide a platform to share and develop greater understanding and collaboration between these important cities in the development of the next generation of corporate leaders and finance professionals.
