Much better British universities already have campuses in China, Singapore, etc.

^ Lots of demand in Thailand though. Cheaper start up costs and less competition than in Singapore, too..

I think there's more demand in Malaysia, and a couple of universities set up shop there years ago. UCL is a Johnny-come-lately to the Asia-revenue party.

None of those mentioned could hold up to AUA,

No doubt they'll only be hiring their own thoroughbreds.

Of course - as I was gently attempting to point out to our earnest friend, thinkingofachange. That market is a difficult one to break into.
National University of Singapore (NUS) is a very decent uni and certainly knocks Chula into a cocked hat.
