Welcome Czech SICAS Student to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China!

The SICAS student from the Czech Republic has arrived in Shanghai to begin a new chapter in China. As one of China's most international cities, Shanghai has combined a long history with a modern and dynamic urban environment. Its historic neighbourhoods, famous waterfront, diverse food culture, and busy city life make it an interesting place for international students. With enthusiasm for learning Chinese and experiencing life in a new country, this student is about to begin a one-year non-degree Chinese language programme at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).

Shanghai Jiao Tong University, commonly known as SJTU, is one of China's well-established universities. Founded in 1896, the university has developed a long tradition of education and research and has built a broad academic community in Shanghai. Its campuses combine historic university buildings with modern teaching and research facilities, creating an environment where students can pursue their studies while experiencing life in one of China's major cities.

We warmly welcome this student from the Czech Republic to China and hope that he will quickly settle into life at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. A year of Chinese language study can be a valuable opportunity to improve communication skills while gaining a better understanding of Chinese culture and everyday life. We hope he will enjoy his classes, make new friends, explore Shanghai, and gradually become more confident in using Chinese.

For international students who want to study in China, learning Chinese in the country itself can bring experiences that go beyond the classroom. Ordering food, travelling around the city, shopping, communicating with local people, and taking part in cultural activities can all become opportunities to practise the language. We hope this student will make the most of his time at SJTU and enjoy this new experience of study in China.

Congratulations on this new chapter in his life. We wish him a rewarding year at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, with steady progress in Chinese, new friendships, interesting cultural experiences, and many memorable moments in Shanghai. We look forward to seeing him make the most of his time in China and continue growing through this experience.

Study Chinese at Shanghai Jiao Tong University

A one-year non-degree Chinese language programme provides international students with an opportunity to focus on Chinese language learning without pursuing a degree. For students who want to study Chinese, spending a year in China can provide a combination of classroom learning and everyday language practice.

Living in Shanghai can make Chinese part of many aspects of daily life. Students can practise communicating in shops and restaurants, use Chinese while travelling around the city, and gradually become more familiar with local customs and culture.

For some students, a year of Chinese language study may also become the first step towards further study in China. After gaining greater confidence in Chinese and becoming familiar with life in the country, they may choose to explore other academic opportunities in the future.
