Trusted TNE Pathway Provider
With decades of expertise from our founders and academics, we understand the expectations of British universities and the high standards they uphold for academic excellence. By deeply understanding the differences in English language proficiency, educational pedagogy, and study skills between Chinese high school students and UK universities, we design programmes that effectively bridge this gap.
Our curriculum is meticulously aligned with the UK higher education framework, ensuring that students are fully prepared—academically, linguistically, and culturally—to thrive in a British university environment.
At LGE, we prioritise the development of essential academic skills that underpin success in higher education.
Our teaching methodologies emphasise active learning, collaborative projects, and rigorous academic assessments, simulating the realities and demands of university-level study. This approach equips students with the confidence, independence, and critical thinking skills needed to excel in UK universities.

International student scholarships aimed at encouraging a more equitable world
Dr. Cheryl Yu, Vice President at LGE
This year, we are seeing a trend where in destinations characterised by tightened immigration settings, more institutions are exploring TNE, whether through joint degrees, exchanges, or branch campuses. China’s requirements offer an indication of the likely evolution of how TNE agreements will be structured around the world (*reference to Yu's work).
How market shifts are impacting Chinese agencies
Dr. Cheryl Yu, Vice President at LGE
Foreign institutions hoping to maintain a strong presence in China must evolve with the market. The traditional reliance on agencies is no longer sufficient. Instead, universities must...develop strong institutional collaborations with international schools in China, positioning themselves as trusted higher education pathways for students already enrolled in globally focused secondary education.
