We are coming in due course: 2019 ZJU Students Study Abroad Fair

“Excuse me, has the information session of Oxford started already?”several students rushed to the registration desk, panted, “yes, 3^rd floor”, answered by the staff working in Office of Global Engagement.

To offer our students a wide range of overseas study opportunities, the 2^nd ZJU Study Abroad Fair is held as scheduled on Oct. 31^st. About 30 representatives of ZJU international partner institutions, including universities from European, American, and Asian countries joined the event at the Library on Zijingang Campus to share first-hand information with ZJU students. Apart from exhibitions outside the university library, each participating university took turns to give a 15-minute presentation about program details, application procedures etc.

“Like many of our students coming here today, I have been looking for a suitable overseas institution to carry on my graduate studies, in this process, I also have doubts in my mind, like ‘how can I find the institution where I can maximize my potential’, said WU Bojin, host of 2^nd ZJU Study Abroad Fair, at the opening ceremony, and shared his ideas as a student who looks for future studies.

“We really appreciate your participation to help students explore study abroad options, provide materials and answer questions. Recent date indicates that more than 75% undergraduates in Zhejiang University had a certain period of time of international experiences, which made a real difference in their lives,” introduced Prof. LI Min, director of the Office of Global Engagement, in the welcome remark.

“Being a freshman, it really helps a lot for such a platform that I can have access to so much first-hand information regarding overseas studies. I may make future plans accordingly,”said ZHAO Zijing, student from School of International Studies. CHE Ziyuan shared his ideas from a participant to an organizer: “this is my second year in Zhejiang University. Last year I came for suggestions about applying for Berkeley, and during the past one year, I’ve been working on preparing for TOFEL and course-selection. This year, being a volunteer of program organization, I found it more worthwhile to join.”
