（2016年11月3日，北京）北京大学和伦敦大学学院今天宣布加强双方的战略伙伴关系。未来，这两所世界一流的大学将更加紧密地合作，以应对紧迫的全球性挑战。
Two world-leading universities, Peking University (PKU) and UCL, today reinforced their key strategic partnership, which will see them work even more closely together to address pressing global challenges.
北大&伦敦大学学院签署MBA合作办学协议
今天，双方在北京大学校园内签署了一项协议，共同开设一项工商管理硕士（MBA）课程项目。北大国际MBA就是北京大学国家发展研究院（NSD）与伦敦大学学院管理学院（SoM）的合作办学项目。这是北京大学和伦敦大学学院结合双方专长而开设的独特课程的一个绝佳典范。北京大学国家发展研究院是领先的经济学和公共政策智库，而伦敦大学学院管理学院是领先的专注于技术、创新、逻辑分析和创业精神的商学院。希望该MBA项目将为培养下一代领袖人才、以推动中国发展和向知识经济转型中发挥重要作用。
An agreement was signed today between the two institutions to jointly deliver an MBA programme at PKU’s campus in Beijing. The Beijing International MBA is a collaboration between PKU’s National School of Development (NSD) and the UCL School of Management (SoM). The partnership demonstrates how PKU and UCL expertise can combine to create a unique offering. NSD is a leading economics and public policy think tank and SoM is a leading business school focused on technology, innovation, analytics and entrepreneurship. It is hoped that the MBA will play a part in educating the next generation of leaders, who will drive China’s development and transformation into a knowledge-based economy.
UCL President & Provost, Professor Michael Arthur and PKU President Lin Jianhua witnessed the signature today. They both agreed that: “We are delighted at how the partnership between Peking University and UCL has developed. Our two great universities are committed to improving access to innovative and excellent research-led education which benefits humanity. Together we can have an even greater impact.”
北京大学和伦敦大学学院的伙伴关系基于双方学者在研究和教学方面的紧密合作，涵盖从医学、城市规划、语言教育到考古学的一系列广泛的学科。
The PKU-UCL partnership is based on strong research and teaching collaborations between academics on both sides, across a wide range of disciplines from medical sciences and city-planning to language education and archaeology.
伦敦大学学院校长迈克尔•阿瑟（Michael Arthur）教授和北大校长林建华教授出席了今天的协议签字仪式。他们一致认同：“我们很高兴看到北京大学和伦敦大学学院的合作关系持续发展。我们这两所伟大的大学致力于提升创新的、卓越的研究主导型教育水平，造福人类。我们将携手并肩，共同发展”
两所大学的高层代表团已进行了互访。2015年10月，在中国国家主席习近平对英国进行国事访问期间，北京大学校务委员会主任朱善璐教授陪同习主席访问了伦敦大学学院孔子学院。这所孔子学院由北京大学与伦敦大学学院共建。2016年4月，北京大学校长林建华教授访问了伦敦大学学院。
High level delegations have visited both universities, most recently the PKU Chair of Council Professor Zhu Shanlu, accompanying Chinese President Xi Jinping to UCL as part of the State visit to the UK in October 2015, and PKU President Lin Jianhua visiting UCL in April 2016.
这一伙伴关系是世界一流大学结合自身的知识和专长、开创合作办学新模式的典范。这顺应了中英关系进入“黄金时代”的潮流，并与《中英教育战略框架》等政府倡议相契合。
The partnership is an example of world-leading universities combining their knowledge and expertise to pioneer news ways of working. This is in keeping with the ‘golden era’ of China-UK relations and fits well with government initiatives such as the recent UK-China Strategic Framework in Education.
