Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL) and Caritas Institute of Higher Education & Caritas Bianchi College of Careers (CIHE & CBCC) are going to work together collaboratively through the Higher Education Language Partner Programme to promote the value of language learning and the benefits of joining an internationally recognised professional body. Witnessed by Prof. Annie Bligh, Provost, Dr Law Chung Sea, Vice-President (Academic and Quality Assurance), and academic staff from the School of Humanities and Languages, Dr Kim Mak, President of CIHE & CBCC, and Ms Ann Carlisle, CEO of CIOL, signed the Memorandum of Understanding on 13 November 2017, signifying the start of the three-year collaboration between the two parties. Not only does the Programme improve the competence of CIHE & CBCC’s language programmes, it also provides students with a channel to obtain, upon assessment, recognition of language proficiency from a UK body.
