The two universities have been working together since 2014, with BNU students visiting the Tai Po campus on exchange programmes, and around 20 EdUHK students studying at BNU each year on courses specifically designed for them, including Chinese culture and tradition, education research, and educational theory. This follows the signing of a partnership in agreement between EdUHK and Peking University to facilitate inter-university research initiatives, jointly organise academic conferences and professional training courses, and look into organising summer exchange opportunities for students of the two universities. The aim of these partnerships is, through working together on research and taking part in exchanges, to give students and scholars opportunities to share expertise, experience life in a different city, better understand each other's culture and development, and strengthen interaction.

It features both the written form and native speakers’ pronunciation of frequently used phrases, directions, numbers and the time. Added to this, each language includes modules on the alphabet, hand gestures and finger counting. “The aim is to promote the idea of ‘Learning without Boundaries’.
