China recognises that universities and colleges in the UK offer many opportunities to Chinese students and there is a high demand from Chinese students for study places in the UK. Conversely, for several years UK universities and colleges have begun to rely on full fee paying overseas students to help them balance the books. Demand in this area is therefore two-way.

Marel have an exclusive agreement with the Zhejiang Foreign Services Corporation (ZFSC) to handle Chinese students looking for places at universities and colleges within the UK. (Zhejiang Province is centred on Hangzhou, China’s 5th  largest city, and is at the heart of the Shanghai – Nanjing “golden economic triangle”). Marel has also arrangements with colleges such as Leeds and Leeds Metropolitan Universities, Sunderland, York and Bournemouth Universities and several HE and FE colleges to act on their behalf in China. Marel also has an agreement with ZFSC to act as an intermediary for UK companies and organisations seeking skilled employees from within China.

This aspect is specifically dealt with by Marel Agencies Ltd’s sister company – Marel Learning and Human Resources Ltd – http://www.marellhr.co.uk/
