Jade, Bsc. Economics
I would rate the Shanghai International Summer School very highly. I think it was a really great experience educationally and culturally. I learnt much about economics and finance as well as the Chinese culture and people. I really liked that we were put in a completely different environment with completely new people, that we were able to explore together with the guidance of all the really helpful staff and students at SUFE.
