Abstract
This chapter addresses the theme of internationalisation and global learning. It is common knowledge that Australian universities have become active players in the international education market since the 1980s. Partnerships have taken myriad forms, many of them brokered through agents. The research reported here is part of a case study being conducted as an evaluation of a particular Sino-Australian partnership and the research was designed with the express purpose of examining issues and contexts surrounding a collaborative articulation program (CAP) between the two countries. The degree in question is an early childhood teaching degree and is the first of its kind to be accredited as a formal qualification in both Australia and China.
