On May 25, 2012, the China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL) Business School and the Richard Ivey School of Business of the University of Western Ontario (UWO) held a press conference in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). The two universities had previously signed a program cooperation agreement on the occasion of CUPL’s 60th anniversary celebration.
The two universities are first to jointly provide an EMBA program and EDP program in China.
