Through Generation UK, the British Council has established partnerships with a wide range of UK and Chinese universities to increase the number of mobility opportunities for UK students and graduates. We also work with businesses to support young talent and future leaders to engage with and understand China through bespoke training programmes.

Bristol University
The University of Bristol partnership with Generation UK has supported 32 students from a widening participation background to undertake internships in a range of industries in Shenzhen fully funded since 2018, including a virtual option for seven students in 2021. A pioneer in the field of widening participation, Bristol recognises the transformational impact mobility opportunities such as Generation UK can have on students from diverse backgrounds.
