The clock tower looks out over a 38-hectare campus graced by an ornamental lake and a pillared central hall. Add a little ivy and it could be almost any respected seat of learning in the West. Only the hemisphere is wrong. This is Ningbo campus of Nottingham University in China’s Zhejiang province, half a world away from its British home. Teaching is in English, the first language of the staff. Last year the college, a joint venture with a Chinese enterprise, opened its doors to 900 local students looking for an international education without leaving home. Within five years their numbers are forecast to reach 4, 000. Say Nottingham University provost Ina Gow: "Why go all the way to Britain when you can study in China at half the price"
