Informed by 7 years managing university operations in Indonesia and deep networks in Chinese higher education, we've developed a structured process for establishing sustainable TNE partnerships and pathway programs—from full degree delivery in China to credit-articulated pathways for study abroad.
We start by understanding your university's strategic goals, program strengths, and partnership requirements—whether you're seeking full TNE delivery in China or pathway programs with credit articulation for student mobility. This foundation ensures every subsequent step aligns with your objectives.
Through Zhao Yongkang's networks in Chinese higher education and our partnership with SAE Australia, we identify institutions that match your criteria and have the capacity, interest, and regulatory standing to pursue TNE partnerships or pathway collaborations.
Before any introduction is made, we conduct comprehensive due diligence on shortlisted partners. This rigorous assessment ensures you're only connected with institutions that meet your quality standards.
With vetted partners identified, we facilitate introductions, site visits, and negotiations. Our bilingual capabilities and cultural expertise ensure clear communication and mutually beneficial outcomes.
Once agreements are signed, we support program implementation—from regulatory approvals and curriculum localization to credit articulation mapping and student recruitment planning. For pathway programs, this includes establishing clear credit transfer frameworks and student mobility support structures.
Our commitment extends beyond launch. We'll provide ongoing relationship management to ensure partnerships continue to deliver value and adapt to changing circumstances over time.
We're not education agents—we're experienced operators building a focused TNE and pathway program consultancy.
7 years as Managing Director at SAE Indonesia means we understand partnership requirements from the inside—curriculum mapping, regulatory approvals, student recruitment, quality assurance. We've lived what you're trying to build.
Our active partnership with SAE University College Australia provides direct access to a global leader in creative media education and a proven model for TNE collaboration. This isn't theoretical—we're actively building these partnerships.
You work directly with the founders—no account managers, no bureaucracy. We're small, focused, and personally invested in every partnership's success. You get our full attention.
Zhao Yongkang's deep networks in Chinese higher education and fluency in regulatory processes ensure nothing is lost in translation. Direct relationships, cultural understanding, regulatory navigation—not just translation services.
We're in the early stages of building our consultancy, with active partnerships underway:
Curriculum mapping in progress for creative media pathway programs
Partnership development for transnational education offerings
We're selectively taking on new clients who value working with experienced operators building something focused and sustainable. If you prefer working directly with founders who've actually run universities rather than navigating a large agency, we should talk.
Let's start with a conversation about your partnership goals and whether we're the right fit.
