2+2 Programme Leeds University
Your Question我现在在广东外语外贸大学的国际学院就读，准备明年到ＬＥＥＤＳ 就读它与我们学校２＋２商务管理本科．但是，我有点疑问，我去英国以后是直接从大二开始读的，真的可以跟的上学校的教学吗，毕竟是比别人少读了大一．而且最近看新闻说很多这种院校合作是不被承认的，所以最近非常的担心．另外就是我想问一下Leeds的商务管理专业在英国排名如何？谢谢
I'm studying in International Department of Guangdong Foreign Language & Business University. I will go to Leeds University to study for undergraduate Bachelor Business Management which is a 2+2 programme. However, I'm not too sure, can I really catch up with my classmates? I will start in year 2, missing year 1. Recently I heard a lot of rumours that these joint programmes will not be recognised so I am worried. By the way can you tell me the ranking of Leeds for Business?
The Answer
Leeds has a good business school. It is ranked 13 for Business Studies by The Times ranking. It is rated as 5 out of 6 by the UK government (an excellent score).

Don't worry about catching up when you go to the UK, because these programmes are especially for students like yourself, so you will be able to catch-up.
There are rumours about these programmes but the problem is with less famous institutions who have very low standards. It should not be a problem for good institutions like Leeds and Guangdong Foreign Language & Business University. For your study in China do you have classes taught in English? This is quite important.
