Alexander - 2019
I chose to complete a short-term experience as exchange was always something that appealed to me however was not sure if I would get the opportunity/time to go on semester exchange. I decided that a short-term experience was a great way to get a taste of exchange and develop similar skills.

Jasmin - 2019
This experience has opened my eyes to how different China is to Australia, and has made me more open minded. I met students from all around the world and had so much fun navigating an unfamiliar place with new friends.
The lectures and company visits provided me with invaluable knowledge on business culture in China and the Chinese economy, and I learned more about Chinese history from the field trips to locations such as the Sichuan Museum.
