On the evening of 17th September, the annual Welcome Party for all new international students was hosted at the SBC English Tearoom. International students from 16 countries and regions attended the party, together with members of the SBC academic and administrative team.
As part of the evening’s entertainment, students enjoyed moon cakes and local Shanghai snacks. They also learnt how to make Chinese lanterns to celebrate the coming Mid-autumn Festival. It was all in all a great opportunity for new international students to mingle and make friends with existing Chinese and international students at SBC.
In her welcome speech, Professor Linda Liu, Vice-Dean of SBC, expressed the wish that international students take SBC as their home in China and keep in touch after graduation. This year over 40 international students were accepted by SBC. This takes the total number of enrolled students from abroad to nearly 100, representing 30 countries and regions. Our overseas students see SBC as a great opportunity to study for a UK-accredited degree, while learning Mandarin and experiencing Chinese culture in Shanghai, China’s most modern and most dynamic city.
