HONGKONG-based OnLine Education plans to work with Glasgow's University of Paisley to provide an ''electronic university'' in Hongkong.
OnLine Education, a multi-million dollar company that is part of the OnLine group of companies, specialises in research and development, especially in computing and computer graphics.
The new company has been formed to offer Hongkong executives and professionals work-related higher-education courses using the latest computer technology.
Four courses will be launched in October - postgraduate diploma and Master of Science programmes in quality management and computer-aided engineering.
More courses will be introduced in March next year, with a target of 24 courses within the next 18 months.
The post-graduate diploma courses will cost US$8,000 each, and the Master of Science programmes will be offered at $10,000.
For this fee, students will receive a printer, modem and fax, and a computer pre-programmed with the material necessary for the course.
