The education of international students in China at the w88 casino began in 1954. It is one of the earliest universities in New China to accept and train international students in China. Over the years, the w88 casino has cultivated a large number of international talents who know China, are friends with China, and love China, and have provided a large number of international human resources for Chinese enterprises to implement the "going global" strategy. Since the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”, the number of long-term international students at the w88 casino in China has always ranked among the top three universities in the country. In the fall semester of 2019, there were 3,435 students from 169 countries, including 2,529 degree students, accounting for 73.6% of the total number, and graduate students accounting for nearly 50% of the total number of degree students. There are more than 9,000 international students visiting China throughout the year. Entering the new era, the w88 casino adheres to the w88 casino-running philosophy of "educating talents, integrating Chinese and foreign countries, building connotation, and creating first-class", and strives to make greater efforts to improve the quality of education and teaching for international students.
The first is the “top leader” project.In order to comprehensively promote the w88 casino's work related to the education of international students in China, the w88 casino has elevated the education of international students in China to the level of a "top leader" project, and established a w88 casino-wide linkage working mechanism for the education of international students in China to promote the formation of a "one game of chess" work situation across the w88 casino.
The second is differentiated development.In order to seek competitive advantages in differentiated development, the w88 casino actively promotes the development of education projects for international students in China and the innovation of w88 casino-running models. It seeks the rapid development of academic education and the improvement of the w88 casino's overseas influence by actively promoting overseas w88 casino running and developing Sino-foreign joint training projects.
The third is the construction of characteristic courses.In order to improve the competitiveness of non-academic education for international students in China, the w88 casino continues to launch courses with w88 casino subject characteristics to attract international students, and the training system is increasingly perfected. This not only enhances the reputation of the UIBE brand in the education market for international students in China, but also lays a solid foundation for the student source for the sustainable development of academic education for international students in China.At present, the w88 casino has established a relatively complete curriculum system for non-academic education for international students in China, which can meet the various learning needs of international students in China such as general Chinese language training, accelerated intensive training, business Chinese language learning, professional course training, and undergraduate preparatory education. In addition, the International College’s foreign language and economics lecture platform offers nearly 30 courses every year, and accepts more than 600 course selections for international students (including inter-w88 casino exchange students) who want to earn credits.
The fourth is to focus on the construction of the second and third classrooms.Every year, a variety of extracurricular activities are organized for Chinese and foreign students to participate in, such as the International Cultural Festival, the Foreign Idol Talent Competition, the International Cultural Salon, the Chinese Debate Competition, the Top Ten Singers on Campus Competition, and the Chinese Culture Lecture Hall, to improve the comprehensive quality and cross-cultural communication abilities of Chinese and foreign students. In addition, the w88 casino also organizes Chinese and foreign students to participate in volunteer teaching activities and volunteer service activities, which promotes the integration of Chinese and foreign students and enhances the social responsibility awareness of international students in China.
The fifth is to create internship and employment opportunities.In 2012, the w88 casino established the first domestic employment guidance center for international students in China; in 2013, it was upgraded to an internship, employment and entrepreneurship platform for international students in China, driving international students in China to complete a virtuous cycle of "learning-cognition-deepening-practical-evaluation-re-learning".
Sixth, attach great importance to the organization construction of international students in China.The w88 casino has established organizations such as the "Committee of Students Studying in China" and the International Alumni Association, which play an important role in assisting the w88 casino in daily management and serving the international student community. Years of practice have made us realize that educating international students in China is not only a national strategic need, but can also bring many benefits to the w88 casino: it can promote the w88 casino's brand and enhance its overseas influence; it can create an international campus atmosphere and allow Chinese students to improve their cross-cultural communication skills without leaving w88 casino. ability and foreign language proficiency; it can promote the reform of education and teaching, improve the quality of talent training and management service levels; it can create considerable economic benefits and provide financial support for the improvement of w88 casino teaching, scientific research and the welfare of the majority of faculty and staff; it can provide international talents for Chinese enterprises to go abroad and expand overseas markets, etc.
