PROJECT

Working within the guidelines of government regulatory organizations, our mission is primarily to create premium academic opportunities for all students by reducing economic or geographical barriers to higher education. We are conservative in adhering to "old-school" style education although we recognize the value added aspects of E-based education. APB is not a student recruitment organization and we are not directing institute co-operations that focus entirely on the transfer of students from one institution to another.

We promote industry relevant international academic developments, that are generally affordable and without compromising the quality of education. In this way students can be eligible to qualify for degree awards from both the local and overseas collaborating universities. In this system, we facilitate intellectual and technology transfer and strategize all aspects of the operation.

the green treasure, is the largest and well-preserved primitive forest and also the Kingdom of Wildlife , with over 300 species ofbirds and 100 species of animals, 40 of which are listed among the national rare species.

Some places of interest include Zhaojun Tomb in Hohhot , the Five-towers Temple , the Wudangzhao Monastery, and the Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Yijinhuoluo. The traditional special local products include pure wool coarse string, Alashan camel's hair, Xilin Gol mushroom and Hetao melon.

Considerable time is invested translating and examining the syllabuses from participating institutions, their assessment strategies and quality assurance processes, before mapping the course structure to derive the most preferred learning outcome and that draws the strengths of the participating educational institutions. In devising the academic structures and operations we are mindful of the financial aspects and to date we have 100/100 success in both the academic operation and the financial outcomes.

Consequently, in Dec 2008, APB and the Inner Mongolia Medical College (IMMC) agreed to collaborate in developing and implementing international recognized biomedical science degree programmes at its campus in Huhhot. The project represented a major opportunity for key senior administrators at IMMC and APB to improve the academic opportunities and enrich the learning outcomes of the local and overseas students. Responding to our global communication for international academic collaboration(s), the University of Bradford, UK delegation arrived in Huhhot in February 2009 for a 10 day intensive planning session,
