Study Trip 2016

Introduction

We are excited to announce that for this year’s study trip we will be going to not only one but three major cities in China: Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou!  

We will be visiting Hong Kong as the city is filled with Western influence combined with Chinese roots and discover the mixture of cultures. Furthermore, we are going to explore two booming manufacturing cities Guangzhou and Shenzhen.  There are many undiscovered attractions to visit and the successful stories of the established companies to hear. The shimmering lights of the most admired skylines are also in these three cities. What are you waiting for? Come join our journey and explore the Southeast part of China with us!

I joined last year’s study trip and came up with the ultimate excuse to go again: being part of the international relations team. This year, my responsibilities include (but are not limited to) the university visit and cultural activities.

Carmen Chi

As part of the IR committee, I am also responsible for arranging company visits and activities to make sure you have an amazing experience during the study trip. On a side note; be sure to ask me if I know how to get to the location, as I do not have a sense for directions at all.

This university was founded in 1924 by Sun Yat-Sen, also referred as “Father of the Nation” in the Republic of China.
